There are a number of changes planned for Luminar in 2024. This could affect the way you use Luminar. If you use the AI tools, you may have to take out a subscription.
Luminar is changing in 2024. Not so much the programme itself, but the licence and subscription model. According to Skylum, this will provide more clarity about what you get. There will be more structure and clarity, with the focus on the Pro subscription.
From 2024 onwards, it will no longer be possible to buy individual modules and extensions. If you want these, you will have to switch to the Pro subscription. If you have the 2023/24 Creative Journey Pass, you will keep it until the end of 2024.
If you have a lifetime licence for Luminar NEO and the Extensions, you will keep them. You will also continue to receive updates for the programmes you own. However, if you want to use the generative AI features, you will have to switch to the Pro subscription.
If you only have the Luminar NEO lifetime licence, you will only receive future updates. Options such as Studio Light, Neon & Glow, and Water Enhancer will be included.
If you buy a lifetime licence now, you will get the Extensions as well as Luminar NEO. You will have access to the generative AI features for one year. If you want to continue using them after that year, you will have to switch to the Pro subscription.
Luminar's updates will also become more structured from 2024 onwards. There will be two major updates each year. The smaller updates for improvements and bug fixes will still be released in between.
More information about Luminar NEO and how to use its features can be found on the Luminar website.

I already have the subscription version. So nothing will change for me.
Translated from Dutch.
I use Luminar alongside Photoshop. Luminar works a bit more simply and is better than Photoshop on some AI points. I do the basics with Photoshop and Luminar as an additional tool.
