If you've been using an Apple Silicon Mac with an external display for photo and video editing, you may have noticed a few issues. Whether it's ultra-wide monitors not displaying correctly, calibration software not working right, or high-end monitors displaying in YCrCb mode instead of RGB, Apple Silicon still has a bunch of issues with color-accurate monitors.
After months of research and development, Pratik Naik and the team at Infinite Tools have released an update to the Infinite Retouch Panel that supports Apple Silicon M1 versions of Adobe Photoshop.
This morning, Adobe unveiled the long-awaited version of Lightroom Classic that is fully optimized for Apple Silicon devices, and we had a chance to test it out before release. Our hopes were high for a program so famously sluggish. Could Apple’s M1 processor deliver a hefty performance boost for photographers? In short: yes. The latest version of Lightroom Classic was up to 25 percent faster on the M1 than on our more expensive Intel-based Mac.
Hot on the heels of Capture One, Adobe has finally brought native Apple silicon support for Lightroom Classic. In addition to promising straight performance improvements, Adobe is also adding several new features -- like Super Resolution -- to the popular photo editor.
Apple announced the next version of macOS during the WWDC Keynote today and showed off a host of operating system updates designed for the Apple Silicon transition. The company promises even more cross operation with iOS, including the ability to share a keyboard and mouse across a Mac and an iPad.
A respected industry analyst has echoed previous reports that Apple is likely to announce new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops at its World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) next week along with new versions of its operating systems.
Capture One is finally launching native M1 support for its photo editor and promises significant improvements to performance. With the optimized native software, the company says imports are up to two times faster while managing assets is 50-percent quicker.
Even though Apple's new M1 computers are still quite new, the company is reportedly poised to release even newer versions of both its laptop and desktop lines that feature new processors, significantly upgraded specifications, new designs, and more connectivity starting as early as this summer.
Earlier today, Adobe finally released the full-blown non-Beta version of Photoshop for Apple Silicon, and we got a chance to test it out. I won't beat around the bush: the benchmarks are really impressive, matching or outperforming Intel-based computers that cost two to three times as much.
Adobe has shipped the first version of Photoshop that can run natively on Macs equipped with Apple Silicon and also has announced a new feature for Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) called "Super Resolution" that is available today.
Famed Apple leaker Jon Prosser is reporting that according to his sources, the new designs for the Apple iMac that are expected to come this year are going to be available in five colors, harkening back to the iconic iMacs of the 2000s.
When Apple debuted the M1 system on a chip (SOC), it released three computers equipped with the same CPU/GPU/RAM combo: the M1 MacBook Air, the M1 MacBook Pro, and the M1 Mac mini. It might seem like this makes for three redundant options, but after reviewing the MacBook Pro and spending a month with the new Mac mini, I can confidently say that the Mac mini is the best choice for the majority of photographers. To explain why, I need to turn to economics.
Right before Christmas, PetaPixel published its review of the M1 Macbook Pro, heaping praise upon the new computer, saying it was "much further ahead than anybody expected." That review isn't alone: in this 17.5-minute video, Linus Tech Tips finds even better performance.
On January 15th, 2008, Steve Jobs pulled a MacBook Air out of a manila envelope and changed laptop computers forever. Blink and you might have missed it: the instant when an entire industry shifted to accommodate a new breed of device that made more sense to more people. And last month, Apple had the audacity to do it again.
Adobe has announced that the latest version of Adobe Lightroom is now a native app for both Apple computers with the new M1 chip as well as Windows Arm platforms. The company says the app has been "rebuilt to take advantage of the newest performance and power efficiency benefits."
Late last week, Apple unveiled its most consequential product in at least a decade. 10 years, 9 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days after Steve Jobs took the stage to unveil the first iPad, Tim Cook announced the release of three new Macs powered by Apple's own M1 system on a chip (SOC)... changing the industry forever.
As part of its announcement of new Mac computers earlier this week, Apple mentioned that Adobe plans to release versions of its software that are compatible with Apple's new M1 chip. That's good news it turns out, since the company isn't able to officially support emulation via Rosetta 2 on those devices.
During Apple's third major event this year titled "One More Thing," the company announced the latest additions to its computer line and its first to feature Apple Silicon.
