Mac Luminar 3.1 Lightroom plugin support

I have just upgraded to 3.1 and the ability to transfer files from Lightroom to Luminar 3 is still working, loads in plug in mode with an apply button which sends the adjusted image back to Lightroom.

I thought that Flex had been rushed out to allow continued plugin support because 3.1 wouldn't work as a plugin. So rather confused!

On the plus side it looks as though sending a bracketed set of RAW files from Luminar to Aurora 2019 now sends the RAW files across, at least no messages about converting and the file name still has the RAW file type. So that seems to be an extra upgrade that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere.

  And the plugin in Photoshop still allows you to call Luminar 3!

  I thought that was being removed?

  Maybe Skylum has changed their mind. I wanted L3 to keep the plugin support.

  So why not leave plugins available in all versions forward?

  Because the two products have different development paths.  We released a long post about WHY Luminar Flex.   Take a look at it.

  Thanks

  Hi Richard,

  I read the post about Flex and understand Flex will have no Library and be called as a plugin. I meant leave the plugins in L3 going forward. Let L3 be the full featured app. I like it the way it is and look forward to improvements not deleting features. Bring back the save project files ASAP too.
