Luminar Neo not showing up as External Editor after installation

Latest version of LR Classic (12.2?). Installed Luminar Neo and AI (both) and tried to get them setup as External Editors. The .plugin and .lrplugin files get created but somehow LR is not "seeing" them so they don't show up in the menus. Previous plugins (Luminar 4 and Flex) are showing in the menus. MacOS Ventura latest version (13.2?). Granted LR and Luminar "Full disk access".

    You have to do it through Luminar Neo:

    - Lightroom has to be closed
    - Open Luminar Neo
    - Click on the Luminar Neo logo in the top left

    - Click on "Install Plugins..."  (in "File" if using Windows)

    - Lightroom should show, you just hit "Install"

    Now, in Lightroom, Luminar Neo should show under "Edit in...".

      Not a holder of Neo, but I do have Luminar 4.

      Installation of plug-ins for the Skylum typically not a direct result if install. Did you launch Neo, then up in the menu, click on the install plug-ins button?

      Yes, I tried that a few times. I have given up. It is some interaction of Luminar, Lightroom Classic, and MacOS Ventura.

      Thanks johan, those are the menu choices that are not showing up in Adobe LR classic. The installation completes without an error, but the menu commands are not there.

      Further down the pages is a section about what to do if you do not see the menus. Did you check that?
