Luminar Neo not working as a FILTER or Plug-In PS 2025 on Mac 15.6...Has anyone else had this issue? I've done clean uninstalls and re-installs based on Luminar Tech Support; however, nothing seems to work in Photoshop...It does work in Lightroom...What's going on and is Adobe going to fix the problem?

@DfShooter yeah, there have been reported issues with Luminar Neo not working as a plug-in or filter in Photoshop 2025 on Mac. Some users with Apple Macs (M1/M2/M3 chips) have found success by running Photoshop via Rosetta 2 to enable theLuminar Neo plug-in to work. This is because Luminar Neo may not yet run natively as a plug-in on this hardware. Another work-around, but it is more time consuming, is where you do the initial edits in Photoshop, save the image, and then open it in the standaloneLuminar Neo app. Then save the edited image and bring it back into Photoshop. Sounds tedious. But at least you can still use Luminar Neo
