# Luminar for Desktop with other software

While Luminar for Desktop is a full-featured stand-alone application, some users choose to install and run it as a plug-in for other popular photo editing software. You will be prompted to install the plug-ins for detected software when you initially install Luminar for Desktop. You can also [install the plug-ins](/about-luminar-for-desktop/luminar-for-desktop-with-other-software/installing-plug-ins.md) at a later time.

#### You can use Luminar for Desktop as a plugin for the following applications:

{% hint style="warning" %}
**N.B.** Please note that we do not guarantee the performance for legacy Photoshop and Lightroom Classic apps such as Photoshop CS and Lightroom Classic 6.14, etc as the support of CS apps has been discontinued by Adobe.

Also, we only support desktop versions of Adobe Photoshop CC and LrC. None of Adobe's cloud editing solutions are supported. We recommend keeping your Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic up to date to prevent any issues when using Luminar for Desktop as a plugin.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.skylum.com/about-luminar-for-desktop/luminar-for-desktop-with-other-software.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
