After upgrading to Big Sur luminar doesn't work in photoshop. When applying the filter the layer turns black or at other times the filter performs the process of applying but is not applied on the layer. Has it happened to someone who has Luminar 3 with big sur?

You'll need to either downgrade the OS or upgrade your Luminar version

Hi!, this is the first proper comment i see about this issue. I had the same problem with Big Sur on a MBP2017 using Luminar 4.3.x as a plugin in Photoshop versions 21 and 22. Had to go back to Catalina for it to work again. Since then I have upgraded to Luminar AI. Do you know if the issue is still present in this version of Luminar? Thanks in advance and have a great day.

You ARE brave. You need to contact the makers of each third party plug-in, to see if they yet have plans or schedule for Big Sur support for each of the plug-ins. I'd expect it to take many months, in the mean time, don't upgrade your live machine.
