Adobe Lightroom ships for M1 Macs (& Windows Arm)
Apple’s first M1-powered Macs include a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini
Adobe has announced that the latest version of Adobe Lightroom is now a native app for both Apple M1 and Windows Arm platforms.
Photoshop is coming
The company also updated us that Photoshop, Lightroom Classicv and Adobe Camera Raw gave all been tested and certified to “work well with Apple Rosetta emulation as we work on Apple M1 native versions of these apps.”
“We intend to ship Apple M1 native versions as soon as they are ready, so stay tuned,” Adobe said.
With this in mind it is probably appropriate to note that beta versions of M1- and Windows ARM-compatible Photoshop are available now… And dream of the performance boost you can expect in future years as Apple Silicon design improves.
