Surprise!
What many of us did not expect when 4.5 was released: It only runs on Leopard and it needs an Intel Mac. Surprise! Why that? I read about the reasons and I believe they are true but I don't see why the need for Leopard and intel has been kept secret until the very day of the new release.
I think the way through all the betas was long enough to prepare the users for this significant step. As somene else said, all current raw converters run under Tiger and on a Power Mac. There was no reason to expect anything different than that to be the case with C1 4.5. (As far as I remember the betas of version 4 did not run too well on Power Macs in the first place but we were told by Phaseone in the former user forum that the final releases would be optimized for them as well. And they were. This made the surprise now even bigger.)
We will all learn to live with Intel Macs and Leopard sooner or later but:
Why didn't you tell us a little earlier, Phaseone?

Well it runs on a G5, just unusably slow, and arguably the performance isn't much better on Intel based on what I've been reading. It also appears to be broken and damaging cr2 files so I wouldn't worry about the fact you aren't using it at the moment.

How slow is it, Dave? Just like 4.1 or a lot worse? On my MBP the speed is usable though not amazing. I wonder if I just should give it a try on my Dual G5 but I hesitate to install Leopard just for that. 0 -
You should be OK with Leopard now, 10.5.5 seems to have of ironed out all the previous problems (there were a lot, mainly wireless issues). Apple were another company who released there software too early......On my Quad G5 it's a lot slower than V3, main problem which slows it down is waiting for the previews to load and the library names not working, just remember PPC is not supported by C1 ☹️ 0
