Interesting post.
When dragging the “original folder” from package contents to Luminar 4, is a copy made? If not, does one need to keep a copy of “original folder” in package contents or will a new “original folder” be generated when new photos are taken?

The short answer is no. When you drag the “original” folder into “favorite” , it is only act as a pointer not copying. The package contents of the “original” folder is not moved. Luminar 4 does not generate another copy of “original” folder. When you import new pictures into “Photos”, Luminar 4 will see the added pictures. This procedure just help Luminar 4 to see where the stored pictures were located and edit them. You can see edited photo only in Luminar 4 . You will not see edited photo in “Photos”.

I printed out your recipes for loading pics into l... (show quote)
I am sorry that you have not been able to get them to work.
First double click the “Macintosh ssd” or whatever is your boot disk. You will see two columns. Left column started with “Favorites” the right side column started with “Name”. Under names the first folder is “Preboot” then “system” then “users”. Click “users” then click your username. You will then see a pictures folder. Double click “pictures” folder then right click “photos library” - then click show package content in the drop down menu. Click and drag the “originals” folder to the “favorites” column. My favorites column shows “recent”, “Applications”, “desktop”, “documents” ... etc. Some earlier MacOS shows “masters” instead of “originals” in the “show package contents”.
I hope this helps.
The followings were the reply from Skylum support :
* launch Finder, click GO > Home. Double click on Pictures
* Right-click on the Photos Library > Show Package Contents > copy and paste the folder Originals somewhere you can easily find it
* lunch Luminar, click Library > Add folder> add Originals folder.
In my case, I just drag the Originals folder to the favorites as a pointer rather than copy them

Thanks! I've been unable to find either email or phone for skylum support. That makes me wonder if my mid 2010 iMac is too old or if I'm maxing out Photos with too many software extensions leaving no room for another to be added
It should work ok on your mbp using high Sierra. I’m using it on a mid 2011 27 inch iMac running High Sierra without any significant issues.
You can use Photos. You need to go into system preferences/security & privacy/privacy tab/photos in the left had sidebar. Unlock then select Luminar 4. Now when you are editing an image in photos the ...icon will open the list of images you can use as plugins and Luminar 4 should be there.

Open Photos; select the photo you want to edit in Luminar 4; go to "Image" in the command bar and scroll down to "Edit With"; scroll to the bottom and select "Other"; This will open the Application folder and allow you to select Luminar 4 with your selected picture. When you have completed your edits in Luminar 4, exit and the edits will be reflected in in Photos. It will also leave Luminar 4 as your "Last Used Application" the next time you go to "Image => Edit With".
