Hi, A couple of days ago I updated my PL6 via the updates option in the menu bar, since then I have been almost unable to export images to a designated folder, either it takes a few minutes to save as a jpeg image or it fails to export full stop! Is there a bug in the latest update for PL6 on a Mac and has anyone else had the same problem?
PL is becoming more and more dependent on your GPU for image processing and, especially, for exporting. It may be that you need to update your GPU device drivers.
Try it this way; it will export the image to a sub-folder named āPL 5 Exportsā on my computer inside the original image folder. Why mine says PL5 and not PL6 maybe be a bug in my computer, but it works.
Try it with these exact settings first, and then change it as needed for you. I change things around sometimes, but this I know will work. I think.
About re-installing:
I had issues a few times and re-installing wasnāt able to fix the issue.
DxO then usually advised to remove not only the app, but peripheral files too.
I mostly use āFind Any Fileā (easy to use, $) or āEasyFindā (free) to look for items like
photolab6, photolab 6, photolab v6
com.dxo
etc.
checking results carefully, I then remove the respective files and folders before adding the new version of PhotoLab 6.
Deleting the .plist files means, that youāll have to redo all settings of PhotoLab, as if it (including no previous versions) had never been installed on your Mac before. If youāve also installed PhotoLab 5, the new PL6 will take over most of the settings of PL5. Youāll want to check settings anyways though because only āmostā settings are migrated)

ā¦contains more stuff. Best just rename that folder and keep it for fallback, should you want or need it. I donāt need to mention that you should update your backup before you start to delete anythingā¦
If unsure, just rename the items (e.g. adding āZZZā (as a prefix to the names)
When it was changed (on a whim ?!) we attempted requests for improvement - No luck !
Iām using a Chrome extension called āDark Readerā (tho, not in its āDarkā mode) ā¦ It helps a little ā¦ but still not as clear as it used to be.
ā¦if we donāt want to write the whole lot, we could call them CenPU und GraPU ā none of which should be CraPU in the interest of painlessly using PhotoLab.
