Adobe , the developer of Photoshop, released a beta version of Photoshop for M1 Macs in November 2020 and was collecting feedback. After that, Adobe proceeded with the development of Photoshop and released the official version of Photoshop natively compatible with M1 Mac on March 10, 2021.




According to Adobe, Photoshop natively compatible with M1 Macs can perform image processing on average 1.5 times faster than before. In addition, Adobe says, 'The processing speed is significantly improved for operations with a large amount of calculation such as creating a new file, saving a file, executing various filters, filling according to the content, and object selection tool.'

However, not all Photoshop features are compatible with M1 Macs. According to Adobe, 'most recently released features' such as ' invite co-editors to edit cloud documents ' and 'sync presets' are not compatible with M1. If you need these functions, you need to use the compatibility maintenance function 'Rosetta2 ' as before.

Adobe said, 'Some features can't work natively on M1-powered Macs, but the performance gains in other parts were so great that we didn't want to delay the official release. 'We plan to continue optimizing with Apple in the future,' he said, indicating his intention to promote support for M1-equipped Macs.

Many software such as the web browser ' Firefox ' and the package management system 'Homebrew' are natively compatible with M1 Macs.
