Preferences are missing on DXO 8 trail version

I just installed the trail version of DXO8 and the preferences are missing. I am on a MAC. Am I missing something?

Do you mean “Settings”?

On the Windows version of PhotoLab 8, Preferences is the last menu item of the Edit Menu. I suspect it is in the same location on the Mac version.

Mark

The preferences are usually accessible via menu:

The green arrow points to the respective menu item.

The preferences files can be found in

Drive > Users > youraccountname > Library > Preferences

To reset the preferences

  • Quit PhotoLab 8
  • Open the Preferences folder and locate files that start with
    “com.dxo.PhotoLab8”
  • Delete these files (anything from 1-3 files)
  • Restart PhotoLab 8 → It should now read the preferences from PhotoLab 7

Check the settings and tell us if they exist now. If you still have an issue, be specific about what is missing. Attach a screenshot taken from DPL7 showing the item(s) you miss in DPL8.

On Mac they seem to be called “settings”

Thanks for clearing it up. Strange they would name it different on a Mac than Windows.

This is down to macOS changes in recent versions
