# Catalog tools in the Plugin mode

When you use Luminar Neo as a plugin for Photoshop or Lightroom Classic, all tools located in the Edit and Presets tabs will be accessible.

Also, you can use the HDR Merge, Focus Stacking, and Upscale AI tools in the Lightroom plugin.  Achieve even more impressive results with any editing workflow.

Moreover, please keep in mind that if you invoke Luminar Neo from Photoshop or select the “Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments” option in Lightroom Classic, you’ll get a TIFF file in the Luminar plugin.&#x20;

Therefore, if you need to work with the RAW file in Luminar, you need to upload it in standalone mode.&#x20;

Alternatively, using Lightroom Classic, you can choose ‘Export Original’ after right-clicking the photo > Export > Luminar Neo > Open Source Files.&#x20;

When you use Luminar Neo as an Extension to Photos on macOS, Catalog tools are not available.
