Yes, this is a macOS "feature" since 12.0 - every macOS update requires that we recompile the OpenCL code for it to work. This wasn't necessary before 12.0. This has nothing to do with Helicon Focus being an Intel app.
We're working on an update.

Just updated to Helicon Focus 8.2.1, running on Ventura 13.1. Now I'm getting the same error message!

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

The update for 13.2 is live on our website now (but not through auto-update yet, sorry).

The latest version on our website supports 12.6 pretty much since the day 12.6 was released.

Now we are on Ventura 13.5 and it doesn't work again. Looks like you have to update ...

I am wondering why it is just Helicon having those problems with every new Apple version ... what is the reason and can't you fix that?!

Just seeing it's done today ... thank you.
But still have that question why you have to invest so much work!

Here's the updated version of Helicon Focus for macOS 13.5: https://www.heliconsoft.com/downloads/HeliconFocus.dmg

No, we can't fix, it's a new requirement as of macOS 13 - the OpenCL code needs to be rebuilt for every minor macOS update. Why is it required - we don't know and don't understand, that's up to Apple. The reason you don't see any problems with other software is because they either don't use OpenCL, or they do but they ship source code that is built on the fly on your computer, rather than binary code.

It's actually not a lot of work, but it's very bad that our software becomes somewhat broken with each macOS update, we would love to avoid this but don't see any way.

Thank you for the explanation Catherine. So for example Lightroom does not use Open CL?!
Maybe in the end they want to create any advantages for some (or own) software.

Hello

I assume this is obvious, but I updated to 8.2.7 and the error is here again

I run it on a iMac M1 with Sonoma (14.0), and yes this is the beta (but the public release is imminent)


Thanks for the upcoming update that will fix this again :wink:

We will support 14.0 as soon as it is released to the wide public.
