How does this product compare to DxO PS & DPP

That's a good question. I participated in the Luminar for Windows beta program, but neither of the beta releases were able to open -- let alone process -- RAW files (from my 5D Mark III or 5D, at any rate). Instead, an error dialog box pops up, stating only "External component has thrown an exception."

I attempted numerous times to report this issue to Macphun through the feedback link built into the beta software, but it always failed -- after entering my system information and a description of the error, clicking on the "SEND FEEDBACK TO THE MACPHUN TEAM" did nothing. I'm pretty persistent, but I finally gave up.

I hope that the release version is actually able to open and process RAW files, but I haven't bothered to see if they offer a fully-functional, limited time trial. Maybe I'll give it another go after the update next year which includes the digital asset management platform.

Not ready for prime time in windows. The following is the list of updates that the windows version needs. Its also slow as molasses on my i5 laptop, not so bad on Ryzen 1700 desktop but slower than Lightroom at opening a raw file to develop.

I think it will be fine once they actually get all the updates listed below. If they get the Digital asset managent right I think it will really be a Lightroom replacement.
