I downloaded a trial copy of Aurora 2019. I have a fully-licensed version of Luminar 3 on the computer (Windows).

I have not been able to figure out how to use either Aurora as a plugin to Luminar, or Luminar as a plugin to Aurora.

  Hi Yoni,

  Aurora HDR 2019 needs to be updated before it can support Luminar 3. While we're preparing the update, you can try the following solution:

  1. Open a photo in Aurora.
  2. Click Plugins >  Other > Open Plugin.
  3. Navigate to the folder where your copy of Luminar 3 is installed. By default it's C:\Program Files\Skylum\Luminar 3.
  4. Double-click Luminar3.8bf. Luminar 3 should open as a plugin in Aurora.

  You can find instructions on accessing Aurora HDR 2019 from Luminar 3 here: https://skylum.com/luminar/user-guides/chapter-15-using-thirdparty-filters

  The instructions state:

  1. Select an image.
  2. From the menu bar select Edit > Plugins > and select a plugin.

  The only options under Edit are Undo and Redo. Version 3.0.2.2186. I have fully licensed Luminar 3 and Aurora 2019.

  I found the same thing, the instructions work to open Luminar 3 from Aurora HDR 2019, but not from Luminar 3 to Aurora

  Tried it (opening Lu from within Au), took a long time, and eventually Windows gave me the "Program is taking a long time to respond, close it or wait" window. (If it matters, both my Lu and Au are licensed at this point.)

  Hi Everybody, 

  I am sorry to say but for now, there is functionality on Windows to use Luminar 3 as a plugin to Aurora HDR 2019 but not vice versa. 

  We will do our best to add the possibility to use Aurora HDR 2019 as a plugin to Luminar in the future updates.

  Doesn't appear to have been fixed to work from Luminar 4 to Aurora HDR in the latest version either. Wow there are a lot of issues with these 2 software programs!
