I now have an iMac 2017 which I will soon install OS Ventura on....(I haven't gotten to it yet, as of this writing, Monday April 17)

My HOPE was...that I would be able to run PhotoLab 3 on this "combo" – iMac 2017 + Ventura....

I had sent a question to DxO about this and got an inconclusive reply – "we don't know if PhotoLab 3 will run on newer systems"...and...

...I wanted to check here first, before I replied to the (always snarky) DxO "customer service" people...

I didn't anticipate the possibility of a fairly late DxO version not being able to run on a Mac OS system version that was more recent than the DxO software....it's usually the other way around, one would have to be concerned....(I have been running PhotoLab (1.2.3) on a MacPro 3.1 with El Capitan, which was the only way to run any PhotoLab on this machine....)
Thanks in advance for any insight....!

Hello,

From what I can see, here are the official system requirements/officially support versions of macOS:

DxO PhotoLab 3
• Intel CoreTM i5 or higher
• 4 GB of RAM (6 GB recommended)
• 2 GB available disk space (6 GB recommended)
• OS X 10.13 (High Sierra), 10.14 (Mojave), 10.15 (Catalina)
• Graphics card with 512 MB of video memory for handling GPU acceleration

DxO PhotoLab 6
• Intel® CoreTM Processor with 6 cores or higher, or Apple SiliconTM
• 16 GB RAM
• macOS 12.0 (Monterey), macOS 13.0 (Ventura)
• 6 GB available disk space
• AMD RadeonTM Pro 580X or better for Intel® Macs

Per that, DxO PhotoLab 3 may/may not work with Ventura. Unfortunately, you could either try it or they would be the ones to give official word. DxO PhotoLab 6 works with Ventura, however the 2017 iMac only has a maximum of 4 cores and a lesser video card, so it probably will not work.

I haven't ever used DxO PhotoLab, so I cannot test it or give a definitive answer.
