I'm on an 2017 iMac Pro running Big Sur. I have the latest software for Photoshop and all the plugins I use. Before upgrading to Big Sur, I had the same issue develope about several weeks ago. That is, Photoshop plugins (Luminar 4 & NIK) make selected adjustments but don't save back to photoshop. I tried this using both a rasterized layer and a smart layer. Same result. Because the same issue is happening with 2 plugins, I thought maybe the issue was with the latest upgrade to photoshop. Can anyone help?
