I was wondering where can I find the [default] skies on my hard drive. I know how to install the custom skies (check and followed the guys), but the custom folder only contains the custom skies that I install. I could not find a directory that contains all the skies installed with the Luminar AI and unfortunately, I did not see any of such folders mentioned in the documentation.

Does anyone by chance know where they're located?

  Hi Member,

  The default skies in Luminar AI are stored in the following location: 

  In the Applications foder, right-click Luminar AI > Show Package Contents > Contents > Frameworks > MIPLResources.framework > Versions > A  > Resources > Sky Textures. 

  Please keep in mind that we don't recommend interfering with this folder in any way as it may cause the instability of the software.

  does this mean that there should be 2 skies collections available?  the default and the custom?  so how do you switch between the 2 folders when you are browsing for a sky that suits your photo?

  Hi Lynne Pariseau!

  You can access the folder with your custom skies from within Luminar AI, just choose Show Custom Skies in the drop-down list. 

  

  As for the default skies, you can simply open your Finder > Go > Go to Folder... and insert the following location 

  /Applications/Luminar AI.app/Contents/Frameworks/MIPLResources.framework/Versions/A/Resources/SkyTextures 

  Yet let me emphasize once again that we don't recommend interfering with this folder as it may lead to the app's performance issues.

  thanks.  I'm still confused but will work through it -- I don't suppose you have a step by step set of directions somewhere.  AI is new to me  - I bought it when it came out but have continued to us Luminar 4...btw, I use both as plugins for PSE.

  Would be great to be able to point the software to an external disk where other skys can be found for it to then show these in the menu.
