Many features are still not available in this version of Photoshop, and some features may experience slow performance.

I have indicated these with a (working) tag. (I have updated this list with features that are now working in the January 2021 release of Photoshop ARM Beta. It does have some features that are missing, and under development right now, they are. Check out my video reviews to see these different tests and my recommendations.Īdobe has released a public beta of the ARM version of Photoshop. But shockingly it is able to process this file. It struggles when I throw a huge 20k 64 layer file at it. I have been using the native M1 version of Photoshop ARM, as well as Photoshop 2021, and I give you the results of all those tests. You would think you can barely even run Photoshop with 8 gigs, but this little beast beat out the loaded 16″ MacBook pro with 64Gb of ram in some of my tests. I have been testing the base version with 8Gb of ram. I have to say I’m actually shocked by the performance on this little laptop.
