Make all your edits in Luminar and hit Save.

Realistically the only way to do this is to import your photo from Lightroom into Photoshop as a smart object. If you're a Lightroom/Luminar AI user, I'd love to hear what your workflow is like. It would be great if that original picture was just already there. This requires me to go back to Lightroom after each Luminar edit and transfer the original Lightroom photo to Luminar each time. This is mildly annoying, because oftentimes, I can't decide between Luminar templates, and thus I want to produce multiple versions of the same photo with different edits/templates. Right now, I use the plugin to transfer a Lightroom-edited photo to Luminar AI ('Edit a Copy With Lightroom Adjustments'), but after I apply Luminar edits, the edited photo is reimported to Lightroom, Luminar AI closes, and it doesn't remain in the Luminar AI catalog.

so I can return to Luminar AI later to experiment with different/multiple edits of it. I'm wondering if there's a way to export a photo directly to Luminar AI from Lightroom so that it stays there, i.e. My question is about workflow with Lightroom's Luminar AI plugin.

Relatively niche question, and I'm not sure this is the right place for it - apologies if it's not - but the Luminar/Skylum subreddits are pretty dead and I figure there's at least someone here who can help me out.
