DxO PhotoLab 2
DxO PhotoLab 2 is a professional photo editing and raw processing application for macOS that specializes in image enhancement, raw file conversion, lens correction, and detail refinement.

The app is used by serious hobbyists and professional photographers who need precise control over raw development and optical corrections.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionDxO PhotoLab 2 is an older release from a professional photography software company that is still active in the market. We could not confirm from available search results whether a native Apple Silicon build of PhotoLab 2 specifically has been released, nor whether DxO continues to ship updates for version 2. DxO has released newer versions of PhotoLab since version 2 (including PhotoLab 6 and later), and these newer releases are where native Apple Silicon support is more likely to be present. Contact DxO directly or visit their website to determine whether your version is still supported and whether a native build exists. If PhotoLab 2 is no longer under active development, you should plan to migrate to a newer version of PhotoLab or consider alternatives like Capture One, Lightroom, or Affinity Photo 2 — all of which offer confirmed native Apple Silicon builds and remain actively maintained. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), an Intel-only PhotoLab 2 will stop working on that release, so it is worth checking your upgrade options sooner rather than later.
