Caveat Emptor....re: DXO photolabs. I recently purchased the elite upgrade for the software I have been using for years now...you know the Nik pluggins and then the DXO ones that they rolled out over a year ago. Well I recently received notice that they have upgraded them again and decided I would go for the upgrade. Unfortunately, it appears it is not compatible with certain mac computers/hard drives. When I contacted DXO they said it was a mac issue related to other hard drives plugged in....but this was happening with the base hard drive and not with external drives as they had suggested. They told me I had to go to Apple...ie: bring my computer in to get it "fixed" as it wasn't a software issue....not only is that a pain but it seems that before software is release it should have been tested and any issues made aware to the public. Now they say that the software is not returnable....why, if I had returned it within 10 days of purchase but before it was activated I would be ok but since I activated it I can no longer return it....quite a Catch-22....had I not activated it I would not have found out that the software was incompatible. After a few back and forth emails with them I decided I will contact my credit card company as well as make sure all on social media are aware so that they don't have the same issue. If anyone has a solution to this problem that is easy to accomplish please let me know.

Thanks

When I had the D500 I used DXO Photolab and liked it till the release you are talking about. The features that were supposed to make the new release special were not there. Then I changed to the Fuji X-T3 and they don't even support my camera. At least they refunded my upgrade cost.

Not a good story Eric and certainly not good PR for DxO, if they care. But it does make me happy I'm a PC user. BTW, nice shot.

Tough to swallow Eric, but a very nice shot/conversion anyway ~ Ron
