Difficulty with Luminar Neo as a plugin with Affinity Photo

[rrb]

I use Affinity Photo 2.2.0 on Windows 22H2 [Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9600K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz] with Luminar Neo (1.14.0, 12151). This combination has worked beautifully until a few months ago. Since that fateful time, when I send an image from Affinity Photo to Luminar Neo as a plugin and apply the edits and return to Affinity I get a black image (see the image below). Since then, I have been through several updates of Affinity, Windows, and Luminar without any change in the behavior. I have uninstalled the driver from my NVIDIA graphics card and installed the latest driver without any progress. I am working with Skylum's Support, and they have been AWESOME in their response, but no resolution so far. If anyone has had any experience with such a problem, I would appreciate any help you might be able to provide.

Thanks!!

Has anybody achieved this connection on MacOS?

After agonizing over the loss of Neo as a plugin in Affinity Photo, the problem has been resolved!!!! I have downloaded the 2.6 Beta of Affinity Photo, and that version works perfectly with Luminar Neo.....no more returned black images!!!! I had used Luminar as a plugin with Affinity Photo for a long time, but then a year or two ago, it suddenly stopped working. I searched everywhere for a solution but could find none. Also, I never came across anyone else with the same problem, so I grieved the loss of Luminar in solitude. Life can be heartless at times. But today there is joy again in my photo editing with the return of Luminar Neo as a simple plugin to Affinity Photo! (Fortunately, you don't have to watch me doing a happy dance around my computer!)

That's cool. How about a plug in in Luminar which allows to jump from Luminar to Affinity to finish more complicated editing?
I'd like to use it this way, not opposite...
