DxO PhotoLab 3

DxO PhotoLab 3 is an older version that has been superseded by much newer releases. The search results indicate that DxO has continued development significantly beyond version 3—current releases include version 9.x as of late 2025. DxO PhotoLab has not released a native Apple Silicon build for any version; the app runs under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs. Rather than wait for a native version of PhotoLab 3, we recommend updating to the latest version of DxO PhotoLab available from the vendor's website, which includes many additional camera profiles, improved raw processing, and better macOS support, though it will still run under Rosetta 2. If you prefer a natively compiled alternative, Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, or Affinity Photo are all available as native Apple Silicon apps, though Lightroom operates on a subscription model and Capture One requires an annual license. GarageBand, while limited, offers some basic photo editing, though it is not a professional-grade replacement. The best choice depends on whether you want to stay with DxO's optical profiles and noise reduction or transition to a competing workflow.
