Preserve History for Round Trip Edits

If I pass an image into Luminar for some edits, is it possible for that to be recorded in Single Image Edits?

Mainly I'm thinking that if I want to revisit a processed image to make further adjustments, remind myself of what I did or learn from my previous work I can currently see no way of doing that - the history is lost when I return the layer to the host.

  Hi Leo! If you're using Luminar from Photoshop, you can create a smart object in Photoshop before sending the image to Luminar to be able to revisit your edits.

  Unfortunately, it doesn't work for other host apps.

  Thanks Helga. I'm using Lightroom, so it seems I can open an image as a smart object from Lightroom then pass it to Luminar from there. I can't quite see how to get back into the Luminar edit, but that might require some further reading.

  The URL you included gives me a 404 but if I add location it works:

  It's not a quick way of doing things though - would it be possible to make this a feature request please? That plugin edits are treated as Single Image Edits so it's a breeze to go back to them?

  Hi Leo! We are sorry for the confusion with the link. 
  Sure, I will pass this suggestion to the person in charge.

  It's a pity that single edits cannot be saved as .lmnr files.

  With you 100% on that, Laurent. But Skylum tell us that no-one wants that feature anymore and who are we, the people who do want it, to contradict them?

  Hi Leo, that's not what we think. We definitely realize how useful this feature could be and share all the feedback we receive from our customers with our product team.
