Skylum Luminar

[JValentine]

Hi I can’t get my Luminar apps to work as a plugin in Affinity Photo, is there a reason for this?  My other plugins work all except any Luminar apps!  Is there something that I need to do extra, I am running a Mac desktop.  Info attached.

If you change your colour space to RGB/8 does the plugin work

Still doesn’t work, I’ve tried just about every combination possible, it just hangs,  any suggestion would be welcome!

Same here. It doesn't open. I get the exact same issue.

You would be better talking to Skylum about Luminars incompatibility with Affinity Photo or Affinity/serif would be better liaising with Skylum to find a solution if one can be found. but I'd say it's just not possible to get luminar to work without some code changes to luminar.

@firstdefence Yes, you are probably right.

Affinity Photo and Luminar Skylum should get together and find a solution to fix this problem with Apple products.  Apparently Window users don’t seem to have this problem, WHY?

Different platform, different code.

Plugins have always worked more favourably on Windows than Mac.

I used to believe this, too. However, the latest release of ON1 Photo RAW 2022.5 now runs Luminar Neo as a plugin. So, it apparently can be done with a code tweak on the editor's side.

I’ve messaged both Affinity and Skylum about the inability to have Luminar as a plugin.  All I get is we are looking into it!!!!!!
