PL8 definitely an improvement

I do have to say though, bringing up world events as a reason to not continue a conversation on black and white photography (that you supposedly voluntarily joined in on) is weird for me.

My point is that fiddling around with DxO software is no longer a priority for me for two reasons:

1. DxO’s customer alienation policies (no support for anything except current OS; no support for mobile; impossibly low contrast interface).
2. The world is a much worse place than it was in 2020. Send the politicians or their children to the front and see how long it lasts. It’s important to save more energy for life & death issues than to debate how many angels can dance on the end of a DxO pin.

The question is then why stick around DxO at all? Well I do still take and process photos, though processing is with a great deal less pleasure since PhotoLab 7 with its very low contrast interface.

I’m happy to share what I know with others in the DxO community and happy to learn from those who know what I don’t know. Some of @John-M 's posts on PhotoLab 8 changes have been incredibly useful.
