Stapler Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Hi. First, thanks for making Affinity Photo and Publisher such fantastic programs! (The two i use) A feature request: I tried to use the Luminar Neo Plugin (For photoshop) in Affinity Photo on Mac (Latest versions) AP finds the plugin and i can select it in the plugin menu, but i doesn't start. Is this something that Affinity can fix or is it a Luminar thing? Best regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pechorin Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Yes, I second Stapler's request. Affinity finds the Luminar Neo plugin, but it won't start. A dialogue window opens saying that it's starting, but it never does. It would be great if you guys could get it to work with Affinity photo, because the retouching tools in Luminar save a tone of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smadell Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 From what i can ascertain, Luminar Neo can be called successfully as a plugin from Affinity Photo, but only if you are on a Windows system. I am on the Mac side and have found myself frustrated by AP's inability to load Neo as a plugin.My experience mirrors that of the 2 users above – Neo can be added to the Plugin list, even called from the Filters menu, but it opens a dialog box and freezes the application, requiring a Force Quit and App Restart. I'm not sure if this implicates Skylum, Serif, or perhaps Apple. However, I agree that being able to use Luminar Neo as a plugin for Affinity Photo (within the Mac version) would be really nice!

OldRadioGuy Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I am running macOS 12.4 on an iMac 2017. The inability of Affinity Photo (now 1.10.5 from the Serif store) to run the various iterations of Luminar on my mac desktop has long been a frustration. The latest update of ON1 Photo RAW -- 2022.5 -- now runs Luminar Neo as a plugin. So, I suspect Affinity could do a tweak to make it happen in APh, too.

JValentine Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Affinity needs to step up their game on providing service to Apple users for plugins, I’m still waiting for that to happen! 0Kami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Gootz Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 That's exactly also my problem. Everything work fine on my Windows machine. But it does NOT work on my Mac M1. It was running on my old Mac. So it is clearly a M1 problem. I need help to get this running... Kind regards, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldRadioGuy Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 It is not limited to Mac M1. It's a problem on previous Mac versions, too. Quote IMac Retina 5k, 27-inch, 2017, 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 64GB memory. macOS 13.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
