Are you sure each of those applications do use Apple’s neural engine on Apple Silicon to process their images?
I assure you DxO is not deliberately sabotaging their own processing engine. There are issues with DxO for which they deserve a thorough chastising, but those issues mostly concern not allowing us to use features or the software at all. Examples:
- PhotoLab will not process iPhone (after X) or Android DNG images
- PhotoLab will not process DNG images from a scanner
- PhotoLab will not allow us to manually download and set a lens for a specific lens (very helpful for those of us using vintage lenses, who know which close matches exist for our Nikon AI 20mm f4 or Leica Summicron 85mm lenses. This deprives of two of PhotoLab’s best features lens correction and lens sharpening.
Sadly with these issues, there’s no opportunity for the PhotoLab photographer to work around DxO’s block. In this case, the colour cast with DeepPrime XD and Ventura, the photographer has control. S/he can just remedy his or her own situation with the workarounds above.
