After Apple introduced the first generation of Mac machines using Apple Silicon processors including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini, Adobe wasted no time in adding support for the new architecture to many of its Creative Cloud applications. These apps are currently in the testing phase and still encounter some issues during usage.
However, Adobe has recently announced that Photoshop is now officially available as a native app for Mac devices using Apple M1 chip, meaning you won't need to run beta versions to fully leverage the processing power of the new devices. According to a recent post on Adobe's blog, the company's internal tests on M1 Macs show that a range of features in Photoshop run up to 1.5 times faster on average compared to previous-generation computers with similar configurations.
However, there are still some features that Adobe has not yet optimized to run on the new M1 chip including the ability to invite cloud document editing and most notably, preset synchronization. Ultimately, the company decided to release Photoshop for Mac M1 without these features because the performance achieved on the remaining functions of the application is quite impressive.
In addition to the news of Photoshop's release for Mac M1, this photo editing software has also been enhanced with a new feature called Super Resolution, based on machine learning technology to increase the resolution of images, with Adobe providing an example of turning a 10MP image into 40MP. This feature is part of the Adobe Camera Raw plugin and it will also be available in Lightroom, as well as Lightroom Classic.
Finally, Adobe brings some new features to Photoshop on iPad including cloud document version history, allowing you to revert to previous versions of files saved within the last 60 days and the ability to work on cloud files without an internet connection.
