If you don’t need any DAM features and just want a raw processor, then:Īdobe Photoshop: Apple-Silicon native nowĪdobe currently has public betas available for Apple Silicon-native versions of Illustrator, InDesign, and three of their digital video/audio applications, so they are hardly sitting around doing nothing.Īdobe in general isn’t finger-pointing at Apple, because they’re already providing Apple Silicon-native Photoshop and Lightroom along with all of those public betas. For some reason, all the other major Lightroom Classic alternatives are also not yet Apple Silicon-native at this time. The only Apple Silicon-native alternative is RAW Power, but it is not nearly as capable as Lightroom Classic. They have promised Lightroom Classic, just haven’t finished it yet. So Adobe is already one of two companies that has Apple Silicon-native software, with Lightroom. On1 Raw: Announced but not available yet.ĭarktable (free, open source): No announcement Skylum Luminar: Announced but not available yet. Phase One CaptureOne: Announced but not available yet. But if it’s time to switch to something else, which Apple Silicon-native software would you switch to? Looking into which alternatives are M1-ready, here is the situation as of today, for raw editors that have at least some DAM capability:Īdobe Lightroom: Apple-Silicon native nowĪdobe Lightroom Classic: Announced but not available yet. Sure, we need an Apple Silicon native Lightroom Classic now, since it’s been months since those Macs were released.
The situation does not seem to be as extreme and polarized as that, not if you look at the big picture.
