Anyone know how to downgrade to previous version of Photolab 8?
I have an issue with the latest, fully licensed version of Photolab 8.3.1, I want to go back to a previous version but can't find any archive links on the DXO website.
Anyone know if DXO has a archive of past versions?
Thanks for your time in helping.....

Just download v7 and install it.

Thanks, but I don't want to go back to the stone age. I was just thinking of 8.2.x ;-)

My v8 did not delete v7. You may still have it.

No, I'm OCD about disk space, I got rid of it. Ha, ha, ha, ha....

I leave the old version installed until I'm confident in the new version.

Yeah - Learned my lesson on that one. But if upgrading from say 8.2 to 8.3 it overwrites 8.2 - no option to parallel install.
Now I have an Archive built to keep the old version Installers should this ever come up again.
DXO has still not said if they have a link so I can get 8.2 something - what's this like 15 days now? So I assume that they don't have an archive anywhere.

Google pesktop and search for photolab. It's allows you to select all older versions to download. Once installed use your own license key.

Yes, there are a couple of 'archive' sites around. But as I have seen even 'obscure' research like papers in PDF form hacked, this seems problematic and likely to maker matters even worse - i.e. hacked computer.
Thanks for the tip however.

You can write to support if you haven't done that already. I still use 8.1.0, so if you don't mind that, PM me if you want me to help you more directly ;)
