Adobe releases native version of Photoshop for Apple M1 Macs
When Apple launched the newest Macs with Apple Silicon M1 chip, Adobe did not have stable native versions of Photoshop and Premiere Pro ready yet. Yesterday, Adobe finally released a stable version of Photoshop that will run natively on the M1 Macs, touting significant performance gains across the app.
Previously, running Photoshop on the M1 Macs would require Rosetta 2, which is Apple’s translation software for non-native apps. While this worked well for the most part, Photoshop could not utilize many of the performance and hardware acceleration capabilities of the M1 chip.
