EDIT: I misread the details of this. Paying the early access price doesn't give you access to the program.
You still only get access to it when released in January. It's just that paying up now saves you $90. The "carrot" of being a founder user is that you will be kept up to date with the development and have an opportunity to contribute to how features are prioritised and developed. I'm still happy enough to have spent my £30, but I was also rather looking forward to trying out the current reduced feature version.
This is interesting.
It's a new raw processing app from Gavin Seim of Seimeffects.
seimeffects.com
Gavin has a background in professional photography and has been writing "high end" presets/styles and Actions for Capture One, Lightroom and Photoshop for decades. He has an in depth understanding of using these programs and annually compares their raw processing capabilities with the competition and whether they have the tools to allow him to port his styles/presets and actions across. This, year, he has managed to port some of his style-sets across to Luminar, and for those who already own these style sets for C1 and LR (they come as bundle for both programs) you can download the Luminar version for free.
I have had several of his style sets and actions for a decade or so, and I have found them to be very good (rather obviously they work with the new app). He has also always been very helpful when approached for help.
It isn't due for release until next year, but can be bought for the next eight days at $39 (full price $129). But it's feature-incomplete. There is a web demo, which works on Linux, but it is a desktop app (Windows and Mac). I don't know if it will fully work online as well.
Although, I doubt I am going to give up Capture One, I will still be buying a copy to try.
