As a MacOS user I am sad Macphun decided to divert time and talent to another OS.

Luminar currently on MacOS is not really a head to head competitor to Photo RAW. Photo RAW has its own library and Browse module. So it could in theory replace Lr....they are making a migration tool. Macphun says they are building a DAM for Luminar. Depending what they do about a migration tool....it may or may not be a serious threat to Lr.

KelbyOne has released presets for Luminar and is offering discounts for Macphun products.....not so with Photo RAW. I think having KelbyOne working with a company could make or break a small company.
