Not permanently "as if they simply dont exist".   But you can use the Library Filter to hide/show images according to criteria like those.

In LRC, I have installed the plugins for Luminar Neo and Topaz Photo AI. There seem to be two ways to get to the plugins.

It may be that they need to do something to the file before it hits their application, whereas Edit With operates more like dropping a file on their executable and wouldn't have that possibility. It might just be that they thought it would be confusing to have it in two places. ... View more
