Adobe has announced the release of Photoshop Beta for Apple Silicon. Photoshop beta requires a device with Apple Silicon (M1) and Creative Cloud desktop version 5.3.1.470 or later.
We are excited to announce the first Photoshop beta that works natively on hardware with Apple Silicon!
This first release of Photoshop for Apple Silicon offers many of the basic Photoshop features you trust for your daily editing needs, and we will continue to add more features in the coming weeks. Please note that Beta software is not officially supported by Adobe, but we want to hear from you and this is the place to let us know how it works for you.
Adobe notes that there are several limitations in this beta release. They report that "many functions" annoy are available and others may work slowly (in other words, it is still very green).
It should also be noted that using Adobe Photoshop with Rosetta emulation isn't officially supported by Adobe, so if Photoshop is important to your workflow, using it on a Mac with M1 may not be the best idea at the moment.
You will only be able to see the beta version of Photoshop if you connect to Creative Cloud from a Mac with Apple Silicon.
PS: Adobe is the only company (we've seen) that continues to use the expression ARM (which is architecture) when Apple has already coined the name Apple Silicon and the chip has a proper name (M1). Ay Adobe, that attention to detail in the Mac world ...
