It is my hope however, that you carefully consider how easily your personal reputation can be sullied when backing a company like Skylum (I know that you have personally taken some heat from your supporters over the last year for Skylum transgressions). Of course, your relationship with Skylum is a bread-winner and nobody can blame you for that.

The ongoing disparity between Mac and PC versions of both Aurora HDR and Luminar alone, seriously call into question Skylum’s value proposition and perhaps more importantly, their integrity. It takes not a math genius to compare what product enhancements Adobe have delivered to their customers in the last 12-months to what Skylum has delivered.

And on that subject, Skylum boasted their non-subscription based products to lure over faithful Adobe customers only to hit their newly-converted customers up with an annual upgrade that is over 60% of the cost of a new product! (Early-adopter offers notwithstanding). Charging 2018 Aurora HDR owners yet another $49 to upgrade to the 2019 version with such outstanding disparity between Mac and PC versions alone is nothing less than a money-grab in the opinion of many who tried abandoning the subscription-based Adobe alternative.

Still failing to deliver on their deal-greasing promise of a DAM as well as the significant lack of parity between Mac and PC versions of their products, Skylum have much to do to be considered an honorable and trust-worthy company. On the subject of Skylum however, you must pause to honestly acknowledge their growing reputation among the community. First off please let me say that I respect your work Nicole and and your sincere commitment to value-adding the photo creation process.
