I’m weighing my options, but am happy to stay with Windows 10 until this is confirmed fixed. I created this multi-lens image in Niks Analog Efex Pro 2 using film and. After trying in vain to change what Windows was doing (or not doing), I reverted back to Windows 10 and all is well again. The plugins now work with Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, and DxO Photolab. In short, Client3’s profile of my monitor wasn’t being used by Windows or anything else I tried, while Windows seemed to be overriding it with bad colors. But the results were way off: dark grays were too bright and colors were further off the mark than usual both before and after calibration and profiling. CalMAN connected with it and performed the monitor calibration as usual. After applying all updates, I installed the latest build of Client3 and activated a new license for it. When I updated to Windows 11, Client3 completely fell apart. I use CalMAN 2018R3 with Client3 for monitor calibration and profiling.

My own experience was with the official release of Windows 11 with current updates and drivers applied. What I’ve been reading is that the “insider” or pre-release version is OK, but the official release has problems with color profiles not being used by Windows and certain applications.

Unfortunately, I ran into a major problem with Windows 11: color management is broken.

There is a way around the compatibility fences by editing the Windows registry and installing trough an image-file but then you are on your own. I guess we get a couple of years before Microsoft tears of the band aid and leave us unsupported for good.

Even when Windows went från 32 bits to 64 bits architecture they offerad a compatibility mode and that seems to have been a bigger step than this.

I will not upgrade my Windows of this reason and I´m sure I´m not alone. This will have the effect that a lot of users will get locked in on older systems unable to upgrade both operating systems and also applications. It´s a little strange that both Apple and Microsoft seems to leave a lot of their users behind. So it seems like it´s just not Apple and according to Alec DxO, who in practise closes the door for an upgrade on older systems through some system requirements. The system requirements for Windows 11 is set to more modest 1GHz and 2 kernels and 4GB memory but of some reasons most Intel i3, i5 and i7 are considered incompatible of some pretty fuzzy “instability” reasons. I also have enough with disk and 8 GB memory. I have an i5-6400 2,7 GHz with 4 kernels that are 5 years but despite that not that bad when it comes to performance. That way you can get a sense of the both types of toolset.There must be thousands and thousands of PC-processors in Intels i-series that doesn´t meet the standards. I use the nik version which is free provided by DxO when NIK v2 wasn’t developed.Įdit: I suggest to look at some tutorials made by profesional users of NIK to see it’s potential.Īnd do the same on the dxo pl website for PL. So filmpack plus DxO elite and NIK are have commen ground but also seperate strongholds. And i am sure the NIK collection can stand alone on it’s feed as plugin with the UI known to many old users and new. Most things NIK can is also possible or nearly possible with PL aldoh nik has great presets and silvereffex monochromes/B&W conversions are great. So there are some visual overlaping functionalities but at the same point they work somewhat different.īiggest difference is NIK works with tiff 16bit and PL with viewpoint and Filmpack is nondestructive and works with Raw. Viewpoint and Filmpack are plugins and standalones like NIK is. They have both a different development path.ĭxO took/bought NIK collections from Google and started to rewrite the last version with as goal to keep it alive in the new OS versions.Īt the same time DxO optic pro developed to PhotoLab.
