DxO Optics Pro 9
DxO Optics Pro is a RAW image editor and photo enhancement suite designed for photographers who want advanced lens correction, perspective control, noise reduction, and colour grading. The app specializes in optical corrections—fixing lens distortion, vignetting, and chromatic aberration automatically based on the specific camera and lens combination used to shoot the image. It includes tools for tone mapping, creative editing, and batch processing, and integrates with Lightroom and Photoshop workflows. Version 9 represents a mature product line from the optical-imaging company DxO Labs.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionDxO Optics Pro 9 is an older release (the product line has moved on to later versions), and we have not found credible evidence of a native Apple Silicon build for this version. DxO Labs has continued development beyond version 9, so the first step is to check whether you are eligible for an upgrade to a current version of DxO's photo suite—DxO has released newer editions that may include native Apple Silicon support. Visit DxO's official website to check your license status and see what's available. If you are committed to staying on version 9 specifically, it will continue to run under Rosetta 2 for now, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point version 9 will no longer launch. Given that Rosetta's removal is now approximately 28 months away, this would be a good time to either upgrade to a current version of DxO's software (if one supports Apple Silicon) or plan a gradual transition to an alternative like Capture One, Lightroom, or Affinity Photo—all of which run natively on Apple Silicon and are actively maintained.
