Adobe Photoshop for Apple M1
Apple's new M1-powered Macs were a novelty for the tech world when they were released last November, with users and critics alike amazed by their speed. For digital artists, it's important that the creative software matches the hardware, but Photoshop for M1 Macs has only been available in unsupported beta form – until today.
Adobe has announced that the first version of Photoshop that runs natively on M1 Macs is available right now. If you already own the latest MacBook Pro or Air (both of our best laptops for graphic design), get ready for a much improved experience using Photoshop.
According to Adobe: "Internal testing shows a wide range of capabilities running an average of 1.5 times the speed of similarly configured previous-generation systems."
Performance & Speed
From everyday actions like opening and saving files and running filters to intensive tasks like Content-Aware Fill, Adobe claims that M1 Photoshop responds noticeably faster.
Adobe also notes that there are some recent features that have yet to be ported to the M1, such as Invite to Edit Cloud Documents and Preset Syncing. But any user who requires access to these tools can easily fall back to Rosetta 2 (the software Apple uses to run Intel applications on the M1 chips) until they are added to the official release.
Adobe Photoshop for M1 thus confirms how exciting Apple's new M1s are for creative artists. It makes previously slow and time-intensive tasks faster than ever and transforms user workflows.
