Luminar 2018 continues to make a big push this year against Adobe if you haven’t noticed and the software is definitely worth the asking price so if you are in the least bit fed up with Adobe give them a try. I prefer the final images I am getting out of Luminar more often than not now that I am getting more used to doing less work, but it is a different editor and can’t replace Lightroom entirely for me until they release their free DAM update later this year.

HDR isn’t the most popular tool in a photographers toolkit, but sometimes you need it to produce something incredible. When I was assembling my eclipse photos I tried a lot of HDR programs, but Aurora HDR was the only one that did a good job piecing everything together so you could see the moon and eclipse together. Luminar 2018 and Aurora HDR 2018 work really well together and you should at least give them a try if you haven’t already.
