Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019 - Plug-in / Open in.. does not work

I just bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019 from the Mac App Store.

Luminar 3.1.3 (from the Skylum website) does not recognise it. When I look under Install Plugins… it says: You must install the software first, but I just did. I found a tip in this forum to install the plug-in manually. I did that.

First time I opened Elements it crashed with a blank window. The second time it recognised the plug-in.

But when I select: Filter/Skylum Software/Luminar 3… nothing happens. That doesn't help.

When in Luminar 3 I select: File/Open in… Elements is grayed out. I can't choose it. So there is no way to move a file between Luminar 3 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019 in whatever direction.

It just doesn't work.

My system: macOS Mojave 10.14.6 on an iMac 2019

  Hi...   The Mac App store version of Photoshop Elements is not a full version.  Apple doesn't allow Adobe to sell the same Photo organizer and the app can't be modified with plugins.  You'll want to contact Adobe and ask them to migrate your license to a full PSE license that doesn't have the Mac App Store limitations.

  Thank you so much for this info. I really didn't know this.

  I will contact Adobe.
