'Lightroom Classic, even emulated under Rosetta, is really snappy.' 'Running Lightroom on the desktop in native mode is super fast,' he said. Josh Haftel, Adobe's director of project management, said Lightroom performs well on M1 Macs both natively and via Apple's Rosetta translation software, which lets software originally written for Intel-based Macs run on M1 Macs. Those benefits will only be fully realized with native versions of the most widely used software, like Lightroom, Photoshop and Microsoft Office. Apple promises the new MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros benefit from better battery life and performance. The introduction of Lightroom for M1 Macs is an important step for photographers considering whether to buy Macs with the M1 processors or stick with earlier machines based on Intel chips. Native versions of Lightroom Classic and Photoshop for M1 Macs are expected in 2021. Lightroom Classic, as well as Adobe's Photoshop, now will run on M1 Macs through Apple's Rosetta translation software, Adobe said. Unlike Lightroom Classic, Lightroom stores photo files in the cloud to allow for better synchronization with mobile devices. Apple promises such new, 'native' software versions run faster and drain batteries more slowly, and early M1 Mac reviews have bolstered Apple's claims.

Lightroom, a streamlined version of the full-featured Lightroom Classic, has been rebuilt to take advantage of the power of Apple's M1 processors. The Lightroom updates also support Apple's new ProRaw format for photo enthusiasts who want more editing control over shots taken with the iPhone 12 Pro. Adobe on Tuesday released a version of its popular Lightroom photo editing program adapted to Apple's new M1 Macs, a key addition to the catalog of software needed to make the recently introduced machines more useful.
