So I hit up Google and found surprisingly little information other than a random comment in a forum. Adobe’s and Apple’s websites were no help either. I’ve read many news articles mentioning that this can be done, but not a single one explaining how. If you use any of legacy extensions or would miss those other features above, you might want to run Photoshop using Rosetta 2 also.īut how do you switch between native and Rosetta 2? This might be obvious for some. Adobe now calls them “Legacy” extensions so maybe they’re getting phased out anyways in favor of Adobe’s marketplace in the Creative Cloud app? In any case, since I want to continue using these panels, I will be running Photoshop 22.3 using Rosetta 2 for the time being. I personally rely on these panels as a part of my workflow so it’s a bummer to see them not work. If you use actions panels such as Raya Pro or TK Actions, those panels are not going to be available to you.

None of those features are important to me, but there is another limitation to Photoshop 22.3 when run in native mode on a M1 Mac. If any of these features are important to you, you’ll want to run Photoshop 22.3 using Rosetta 2.

In other words, some things aren’t going to work. One caveat to the new version is that if you run the app in native mode, there are differences in features. However, things can get even faster with native apps! It’s exciting to see a staple Adobe product get this upgrade as Adobe claims the app will run 1.5x faster on a M1 Mac now that it’s native. In fact, Photoshop seems just as fast as on my spec’d out 2017 iMac. Rosetta runs in the background and most users won’t notice any difference at all. Running an app through Rosetta is seamless and note really noticeable at all. I’ve been using Photoshop and Lightroom Classic on my M1 Mac through Rosetta 2 and I haven’t noticed a difference. Up until now, if you wanted to run Photoshop on your M1 Mac you would have to emulate the software using Rosetta 2. That means Photoshop can run natively on both Intel and M1 Macs! Photoshop is now compatible with M1 silicon Macs as a universal app. I haven’t gone through the entire release notes, but this update seems to be a relatively minor update in the grand scheme of things. Yesterday, March 10, 2021, Adobe released Photoshop version 22.3 to the public.
