I recently installed Ventura, and am having a problem with the effect where, when a dialog box is open, the background, including all other open windows are greyed-out slightly. It's not unattractive in most situations, but

I use software that uses a dialog box to make color and level adjustments to images,

and this effect makes it difficult to see the results of the changes you are making. I've included a couple of screenshots to illustrate.

Try uninstalling it and compare your results.

What I can say is the current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.2.1
