If you can live with limited features, you can download it inside the Creative Cloud app.Īs far as new features go across Lightroom apps, Adobe has added ProRAW support as part of today’s updates. Adobe is working on native versions of those apps, and the beta of Photoshop is already available. For now, Lightroom Classic, Photoshop and Adobe Camera Raw will run on M1 systems via Apple’s Rosetta emulation. The company says it will “continue to optimize” Lightroom for ARM and M1 processors in future updates while also continually improving performance on Intel machines. Adobe has offered mobile versions for years, for both iOS and Android, as well as access to the photo editor’s tools in a web browser.
With today’s release, the company says Lightroom is now available across all major desktop, mobile and web platforms. “We rebuilt Lightroom to take advantage of the newest performance and power efficiency benefits of the Apple M1 and Qualcomm Snapdragon (for Windows 10) processors,” Adobe’s principal product manager for photography Sharad Mangalick explained in a blog post. Instead of relying on emulation, the company says the latest version runs as a native app on those computers. Following the beta version of Photoshop for Apple’s M1 Macs, Adobe is releasing Lightroom today for those machines and for Windows ARM devices.
