As some of you already know, Adobe software is increasingly handing off certain functions to the graphics processing unit (GPU) because it is faster than using the central processing unit (CPU). You can still switch back to Rosetta 2 emulation if you need those features.Continuing in our series of real world tests, we wanted to see how well the 'mid 2012' Retina MacBook Pro handles Adobe Photoshop CS6 compared to other recent Apple laptops and one popular Apple tower. Namely, inviting users to edit cloud documents and preset syncing are not there yet, but the company says the performance improvements were too significant to force users to wait. Of course, you wouldn't be getting those benefits by running emulated apps with the Rosetta 2 emulation layer.Īdobe does warn that a few features are still not available on Apple Silicon builds of the app, though. Adobe says that its internal tests show a roughly 50% increase in performance in various tasks in Photoshop compared to previous generations of the same devices. Today, though, Adobe is announcing that Photoshop is officially available as a native app for Macs with the Apple M1 chipset, meaning you'll no longer need to be running beta versions to leverage the full processing power of the new devices. However, these were in beta, and if you read our review of the MacBook Pro, you'll know that we encountered some issues with those apps.
After Apple introduced the first generation of Apple Silicon Macs - including a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini - Adobe didn't take long to add native support for the new architecture to many of its Creative Cloud apps.
