Re: Helicon Focus 9.0

Very fast lots to like here. One bug to report:

I'm using a Mac Studio, M2 Ultra with 128GB of RAM and 24C CPU/76C GPU, MacOS 26.4

When I right click on a stack at the bottom of the window to Save an output, the file dialog box flashes rapidly and disappears so I can't save. I can select Save from ...

How soon until there's an update for MacOS 13.2?

Re: Mac M1 support


The M1 support seems to be bad as Helicon is really slow - everthing else is fast as hell ... :cry:


Yeah, but the speed on a regular Mac is also pretty slow. Honestly it's not been terribly great on my high-end Nvidia GPUs on Windows either. The problem is that they are using OpenCL for the ...

Re: Mac M1 support

It's disappointing but right now I'm not as concerned about it as I am about the folks at HeliconSoft--they are located in Kharkiv in Ukraine which has been under artillery and rocket bombardment by the Russian invaders. I hope they are all safe and I will worry about my software update some other ...

Re: Mac M1 support


OpenCL is not supported on M1 and it's not likely to be supported in the future.

Now that we've purchased M1 specifically in order to provide this functionality, we seem to have found that Apple does not support OpenCL on M1 at all.


Any plans to move on to supporting Metal on MacOS? I use your ...

Re: OpenCL Performance MacBook Pro

Something is broken with the latest version of either Helicon Focus or the MacOS and Helicon Focus.

I have two Mac Pros and I just got the new Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX module. I wanted to see how fast it would be and to my surprise the benchmark score was quite low. WAY below the other scores for ...

Capture One Export Slow

I am debating the switch from Lightroom to Capture One, as the terrible slow performance of Lightroom is just driving me crazy. One odd thing I noticed when I just tried out the HeliconSoft plugin for Capture One:

If I export 30 raw photos to HeliconSoft from Lightroom, it takes about 30 seconds on ...

Re: HF 7.0.0 Mac Beta testing, part one: Alignment problem

As a Mac user, I'd love to participate in any beta testing on the new version. Can I get a link? Any plans on integrating support for the WeMacro in the new Mac version of Helicon Remote (assuming that is also being updated)?
