![]() The only Macs on which PhotoLab 5 lives up to its full potential is an iMac 5K 2020 with either a 5500XT or better a 5700XT or a Mac Pro in its €10,000 glory with an upgraded graphic card. There’s a terrible memory leak as well in the M1 version of PhotoLab 5. Better performance on Intel CMP while editing than on a brand new M1 Pro MBP, despite a nominal single thread speed which is 3x faster. What’s particularly frustrating is that after cutting off Mojave, PhotoLab 5 works poorly on M1 Macs. Forcing OS updates has turned DxO from a friend or a partner into an unpleasant work relationship. It would have cost DxO very little to support Mojave (worked fine with PhotoLab 4, DeepPrime didn’t need any additional optimisation for Intel and didn’t get as far as I can see now that I’ve had a chance to benchmark DeepPrime in PhotoLab 4 and PhotoLab 5). Moreover, my productivity in November/December was partially ruined by a forced update from Mojave to Big Sur/Monterey due to PhotoLab 5. What DxO is doing which is reprehensible is stealing the VAT money from EU registered businesses and pocketing it themselves. Not only are they ridiculously slow to update the apps for the latest macOS, but they have the audacity to charge customers for ‘upgrades’ that are little more than updates.

Is someone from DXO here to confirm they decided to drop mac user on this one ?
