![]() This is all controlled from a new Repair palette. Outside of silence, I’d also rather keep the CMP on Mojave which is a much more stable and reliable operating system than Big Sur. DxO PhotoLab 3 introduces a redesigned Repair tool, now allowing you to choose the source of your repair point, adjust the feathering and opacity of the repair, and switch between repair and traditional cloning. Otherwise, I’d go back to running PhotoLab 5 on the Intel Classic Mac Pro. The M1 Mac Mini is really and truly silent even under load. I’ve been building “silent PC’s” and silent Macs for decades now and it’s always been a compromise. My interest in the M1 Mac Mini is it’s the first silent under load computer which I’ve had. PhotoLab 5 works much better under Big Sur on my Intel Classic Mac Pro with a WX7100 and 96 GB of memory (requires OpenCore and a fair amount of tweaking to run Big Sur on a Classic Mac Pro). PhotoLab 4 works much better under Mojave on my Intel Classic Mac Pro with a WX7100 and 96 GB of memory. ![]() While editing, PhotoLab runs fine but I’m not astonished by its power or how agile it is. The M1 Mac Mini more or less completely seizes up while exporting Nikon NEF files with DeepPrime. Keep in mind that I wrote “reasonably well”. The same technique can be applied with the built-in Activity Monitor. I’m running a utility called iStat Menus which allows me to monitor memory (system and PhotoLab) very easily. Thanks to the very fast SSD speeds of an M1 Mac Mini, opening and closing PhotoLab is not that big a deal. I then quit and reopen PL5 after any significant amount of work, particularly an export. The way I make PL5 run reasonably well on an 8GB M1 Mac Mini is to close almost all applications including browsers (or at least all windows) before opening up PhotoLab (this process is a nuisance and costs productivity). I’m struggling with an 8 GB M1 Mac Mini myself for now but will probably exchange it for the 16 GB version (got a very good deal on the 8 GB version and will not have any deal on the 16 GB version, it’s not just the book price difference). What settings are you using in PL5 to make it go faster
