I have installed Luminar AI on my Macbook Pro but it doesn't appear as a Plugin in Photoshop.  I have the latest Photoshop version installed.

Please advise on how to fix this.

Thanks and Cheers

  Thanks for reaching out.

  Manually installing the plugin should help:

  1. Make sure Photoshop is closed.
  2. In Finder, please click Go > Go to Folder and paste the following path: /Library/Application Support/Skylum Software/LuminarAI/Plug-ins. There will be a bunch of files in there, the one you're interested in is LuminarAIPlugin.plugin.
  3. Open a new Finder tab or window and navigate to Applications/your_version_of_Phothoshop/Plug-ins/Filters/
  4. Copy LuminarAIPlugin.plugin into the folder that you opened in Step 3.
  5. Launch Photoshop and see if you have Luminar AI under Filter > Skylum Software.

  Let me know how it goes and have a marvelous day!

  Thanks for this very comprehensive reply.  As it turns out, I managed to install it last night - I clicked on the Luminar AI tab rather than the File tab and there was a 'Install Plug-in' option there.  But this will be very useful for the next time a plug-in doesn't appear in the Filters menu when I install some new software. 

  Thanks and Cheers
