after installing luminar (and other older macphun software like intensify) on my new macbook pro it doesnt detect lightroom to install as a plug in. it detected photoshop and installed the plugin properly but it says i need to install lightroom to install the plug in. the thing is,lightroom is already installed but for some reason its not being detected.

any solution?

  Hi  Jeff!

  Manually installing the plugin should help.

  1. Make sure Lightroom is closed.
  2. Open Finder, click Go > Go to Folder, and paste the following path: /Library/Application Support/MacPhun Software/Luminar2018/Plug-Ins/. There will be a bunch of files in there, the ones you're interested in are Luminar2018Export.lrplugin and Luminar2018.lrtemplate.
  3. Open a new Finder tab or window and click Go > Go to Folder one more time and navigate to the following path: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Modules/
  4. Copy Luminar2018Export.lrplugin into the folder that you opened in Step 3.
  5. Click Go > Go to Folder one more time and navigate to the following path: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/External Editor Presets/
  6. Copy the Luminar2018.lrtemplate file into the folder that you opened in Step 5.

  You might get asked whether you'd like to overwrite the existing file in the folder or keep both, choose to overwrite in all cases.

  As for Intensify, please make sure you have CK version from our website, which has the plugin option

  Julia - having same problem, your solution did not resolve on my mac.  Shows must install LR in the Luminar plug in module and the edit in choices in LR do not show Luminar.

  @Jeff Wallace Hi! Did you copy the path (~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/External Editor Presets/) with the "~" symbol in the beginning? Please, check that, since it is a crucial moment. 
  Also, please send us a screenshot of your Modules folder to support@skylum.com with a reference to this post.
  Did you try to invoke Luminar 2018 plugin this way: Export > Luminar 2018 > Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments/Open source files?
