    Plug-in Version of Astra Image LR Compatible?

    If anyone out there uses the plug-in version of Astra Image, can you tell me if it is LR compatible? If so which version of each are you using?

    The Astra Image website indicates that it is compatible with Photoshop. Believe it or not I queried Astra Image regarding LR compatibility and their response was that they couldn't tell me as they don't have the latest version of LR installed on any of their computers.

    I don't know about Lightroom, but Astra Image works well with Affinity Photo.

    Astra Image can 'run' as stand-alone software, so there should be no problem (manually) adding it to work with any version of Lightroom as an "External Editor" in the same way as many other programs. (Do not consider it as a "Plugin")
    When you add it to the External Editor list in Preferences, you can select a photo in Lightroom, R-click and choose [Edit-In Astra Image], Lightroom then creates a new file (type depends on your Preference choices) and opens it in Astra Image. [Save] from Astra Image and the photo will automatically be shown in the Lightroom catalog.

    Thanks for the reply. That simple workaround never occurred to me.
