  1. This worked for me, a painless process, thanks. I put the shortcut in a folder associated with Affinity in the user section of my C drive, so as to keep clutter off my desktop. FYI, before using this solution I have found that dragging thumbnails from ACDSee's photo management and dropping them into the Affinity Photo window worked without issue.
  2. Hi. Happy to report no problems with Luminar ai as a plug-in using Windows 10.
  3. Thanks albas. After your post and some info from Skylum support I took this approach in Windows 10. With Luminar v4.2 already installed I copied the Luminar4.8bf file from the Skylum/Luminar folder in program files and saved it in another location. I updated Luminar to V4.3 and then replaced the Luminar4.8bf file with the version saved in the other location. With both programs closed I only had to start Affinity, open a file, launch Luminar as a plugin and 4.3 opened.
  4. Install Luminar. In Affinity, edit>Preferences. Select photoshop plugins. Navigate and select as shown. Ensure the tick box at the bottom is checked. Hope that helps.
  5. I have been using Luminar 4 as a plugin on Windows 10 for a couple of months and I am happy with the results. Here are some things I have found. First Affinity is my number one program choice and if I was only allowed one program I would not have to think about it. However, I like the using the tools in Luminar 4 because it feels more like a creative process than a technical achievement. Using Luminar as a standalone product and working on Raw files is very slow. This has been identified by others elsewhere. Working on afphoto files using Luminar as a plugin within Affinity is a much nicer experience. Handing an afphoto file back to Affinity seems to tax the processing ability of my otherwise quick laptop. If I have done a lot of edits in Luminar the time it takes to hand back to Affinity is frustrating, making a coffee might be a good option, and sometimes it hangs. This can be overcome by making a new stamp layer of all the edits in Luminar, deselecting the layers below it and then the handing the file back to Affinity.
