4 GB or more of available hard-disk space.

Intel Core® 2 or AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 or higher (Intel® Core™ i7 4th generation or better, or AMD Ryzen™ recommended).

The system requirements for PL are as follows. So it might matter which i5, or for that matter which i7. Some are much newer and more capable than others. (3) An i5 is not a CPU / microprocessor: it is a whole line of them. If it's too slow for your patience, especially using Prime or DeepPrime noise reduction, then that will be your issue. (2) My guess is that if you can run Windows 10-PhotoLab 4 will not really install the normal way on Windows 7- you can probably run PhotoLab 4.

(1) Ian made the very good point: download the trial and see. I do have a laptop with an i7 and separate graphics (Nvidia GT 730M), but prefer to do editing/retouching on a bigger monitor attached to the desktop.

It is somewhat slow, but tolerable for my needs.īut also: if DxO maintains its pattern of the last several years, then it will introduce PhotoLab 5 next week, or maybe the week after that.īTW, the graphics are Intel HD4600, Win 10 64-bit. I'm running DxO PhotoLab 4 Elite on a nine-year-old Dell tower with an i5-series processor (IIRC a 2320). I was going to upgrade (was waiting for a sale), but read today that the requirement for PL4 installation include i7 CPU. I am not a pro so I learned to tolerate the slow processing because I process pics only after vacations or major holidays which is not often. The Optics pro opens sort of slowly, transfers/conversion to JPEGs is slow too (takes a minute to transfer 2-3 files). I am currently running Optics Pro 11 on an older Lenovo desktop that has i5 CPU.
