Have any thoughts on this? Excited about a native version of Photoshop? Let us know down below in the comments or carry the discussion over to our Twitter or Facebook.Blackmagic Design has announced a new update to its professional video editing and color correction software, DaVinci Resolve, that includes a new processing engine offering significantly better performance on Apple silicon Macs. Overall, this is a step in the right direction for these programs, and it will be interesting to see where this leads in the future. It’s free to use, with extended features if you upgrade to the Studio version. That makes Adobe’s big three, Premiere Pro, Lightroom, and Photoshop, all available with native M1 versions.ĭaVinci Resolve, the professional quality video editor and color correction tool from Blackmagic Design, also got native support for the M1 Macs. Some features haven’t made the jump to the native app yet, like “invite to edit cloud documents” or “preset syncing.” That might not be an issue for some users, and you can always use the Intel-based version of Photoshop via Apple’s Rosetta 2 emulation if your workflow relies on those features. That’s the good news, but it’s not all rosy.

Apple’s latest Macs come with its own M1 processor, which is blisteringly fast, even when it has to translate apps written for Intel-based machines.
