Installing Plug-ins

The option to install Luminar for Desktop as a Plug-in is presented when you run the installer. You can also choose to install it as a plug-in at a later time. Please note that installing plugins is an optional step that can be omitted.

1. Quit any host applications you are installing for.

2. Make sure Luminar for Desktop is open.

3. Choose Luminar for Desktop > Install Plugins (macOS) or Luminar for Desktop > File > Install Plugins (Windows).

4. Mark the desired host applications in the new dialog box that appears to show you which supported host applications you have currently installed on your computer.

5. Click the Install/Uninstall button for the corresponding apps in which you’d like Luminar to run.

Quit first! For best results, quit the host application (such as Photoshop) before you install a plugin. You may be prompted to input your Administrator password to complete the installation.

Windows users should run Luminar for Desktop as an administrator when installing plugins. To do so, right-click the Luminar for Desktop icon and choose Run as administrator.
