Luminar 3 with no Aurora HDR 2019 support?

Hi everyone,

so I've been using Luminar 2018 for a while and recently added Aurora HDR 2019 to my mac. It has changed the way I edit my photos for the better, but there is some confusion on my part. In Luminar 2018 I couldn't open Aurora HDR as a plugin. It says it's not on my system. Opening my images with Aurora and using Luminar as the plug-in worked fine, so assuming this would be fixed in the new version, I would use this workflow for my HDR photos. Now that Luminar 3 handles my photos from the start, due to the new library feature, I naturally start my post-processing in Luminar 3, but still can't open them in Aurora HDR 2019, as a plug-in, as it says it can't be found on my system. Please fix this issue!!!! This is totally going against the workflow that the new Luminar 3 is presenting to a new user. Maybe I am missing the correct way of doing this? Furthermore I also had Luminar 3 jump between images, as I was editing one of them, due to hitting an arrow key I believe. It would be great I I could disabled library function keys, while in editing mode. 

Best rgds.

    I agree totally, I purchased the HDR 2019 specifically so I could use Luminar 3 as my DAM and round trip my HDR bracket sets and it only deals with one image at a time. One is in a yellow box, the other two white boxes which I believe is only to allow adjustments to go from the yellow one to the white ones. The ability to round trip between their leading products should have been a basic function. I can do this in Aperture - do I have to go back to that as my DAM?

    Totally agree.  I really wanted to be able to roundtrip from Luminar 3 into Aurora, such a shame this feature isn't there.

    Just got Aurora HDR 2019, it is strange that it can send to Luminar 2018 and not Luminar 3. That was the first thing I tried in Aurora HDR 2019 and it is strange that Skylum has missed such a basic feature.

    We'll add sending bracket groups to Aurora in the next update for Luminar 3. We planned to include this function in the initial release but there are some integration details that we need to iron out before shipping the function.

    Hi Angela

    any update on this rather basic functionality to be expected for skylum users of both tools?

    As far as I can tell it is working in 3.0.2 (At least with Aurora 2018)

    Yes you can select multiple bracket images and open in Aurora 2018 however you cannot round trip automatically by saving. You have to save to a folder in your linked library manually

    Ideally, brackets would even be recognised while in library mode in L3 and there would be a 'shortcut' to open them Aurora 2019 when it's available on the computer. Would seem logic to have integration between software of a same editor.
