Luminar 2018 created TIFs not being re-imported back into Lightroom

Using Lightroom CC Classic 7.3 on Windows 10 HP system.

Recently upgraded Luminar 2018 to v 1.2.0.1886 and have the plug-in installed.

Raw files exported to Luminar 2018 using the Plug-in Extras Transfer to Luminar function. Applied the Luminar presents and hit the Apply button to export the TIF file back to Lightroom. Newly created TIF does not show up back in the Lightroom Library (remains open during use of the transfer).

Checked for the TIF file using Windows File Explorer and the created TIF is in the file folder for today's date (along with the original RAW file seen in the Library). Have the Catalog 'All Photographs' checked and not just the 'Previous Import'.

The last time I used both Lightroom and Luminar was about a week ago and prior to updating Lightroom and Luminar 2018. Everything worked fine then.

Will also contact Luminar/Skylum.

I believe you are using the Plug-in in a wrong manner.  (Consider it  an EXPORT Preset, and not a plug-in)

You should be using the "Export" function (Not "Transfer")

From -   Use Luminar as the plug-in

Images in Adobe Lightroom can be easily handed off for editing in Luminar.

To use the plug-in from Lightroom, please select the image you would like to edit, at the top menu bar click File > Export with Presets > and choose one of the options under Luminar:

1. Open Original Image - in case you would like to edit a native RAW image.

2. Use TIFF with Lightroom Adjusters - in case you would like to edit the image with the changes applied in Lightroom.

In summary-

1)   Menu > File > Export with Presets >

2)  Use TIFF with Lightroom Adjusters

You should also be able to see the 'Export with Presets' in the full Export dialog.  Click on the [Export] button.

Is it possible that the new TIF file IS there, but your sort order is in added order which would put the file at the end of the film strip? That happens to me occasionally even when just editing in Photoshop.

Thanks - have checked the sort order and also have done a filter for TIF file type, but still invisible in the Library or film strip.
