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.
