Can I install Topaz Denoise in Adobe Lightroom on Mac? Version I am using is not Lightroom Classic

Hello, when I followed the instruction to install Topaz Denoise plugin by clicking Preference on my Mac, it doesn't have the option for me to choose "External Editing" (see below screenshot). Is it because only Lightroom Classic is compatible with Topaz Denoise, while Adobe Lightroom is not? Thanks.

You can only use Topaz Denoise in Lightroom Desktop (the cloud version) by opening the image from Lightroom Cloudy in Photoshop and then invoking the Topaz plugin from there.

Topaz Denoise isn't compatible with Lightroom CC, because Lightroom CC doesn't support external editors.

Lightroom Classic DOES support plug-ins, including Topaz. Lightroom (the cloud-centric app) does NOT support plug-ins at all. The only external editor that can be used with Lightroom is Adobe Photoshop.

There is no longer any app called Lightrioom CC.
