I also use their software and have always been reluctant to upgrade unless and until sufficient time has elapsed to expose lurking incompatibilities between versions but, I don't need a lot from what these plugs are offering. (Yes, I am aware that software houses have been using their customers as beta testers from some time now. Certainly, other software houses post compatibility information on their websites to avoid precisely the situation that the OP has described. One would think that DxO would have tested their software against MacOS Ventura as a matter of common practice. I finally got an answer from DxO, and a quite disappointing one : I had to go through tests and send them data from the software I had to install for the test, and 3 weeks later they came back to me… to tell me Nik Collection I bought 1 year ago is not compatible with MacOS Ventura… and they advised me not to upgrade now and wait June because they will release a new version… Might be worth contacting DxO, but I’m sure they’d be happy to advise you to upgrade! I’d try to find out why v3 is slowing down on your Mac first before paying for the upgrade. Whatever the new v5 features are over v3, they might not be too significant as v5 isn’t vastly different from my old original Nik. I bought Nik v5 on a DxO Black Friday offer, installed it and it works fine for my purpose, which is mainly confined to SFX & CFX, very occasionally DFine and even less occasionally I add a touch of Viveza. I don’t know about v3, I was still using the original free Nik Collection until recently when I bought a new iMac running on Ventura. Will it work better with the latest version (now DxO sells the v5) ? Since I moved to macOS Ventura, I find the use of Silver Efex Pro is getting annoyingly slower. I use Silver Efex quite a lot as a LR plugin. I bought Nik Collection (v3) about a year ago.
