Hello.

I buy a macbook m1 for use native ARM processeur with LR classic and photoshop.

So i go to the adobe website and i dl the installer of LR classic or photoshop and when i try to instal i have a windows you tell me you have to instal rosetta 2 to emulate intel system...

The point is i want to work on ARM version not on intel simulate version.

Someone has a solution?

The Lightroom Classic and Photoshop applications are Apple Silicon native software.

But the Adobe installer for both applications is still Intel software.

 

As long as the installer is still Intel software, you cannot avoid Rosetta when installing.

 

Unfortunately, Adobe has not announced when the installer and other components will be updated to be Apple Silicon native, even though it has been over a year since the first Apple Silicon Macs were released.

The Creative Cloud app needs Rosetta to run and there are tons of other non-Adobe apps that need Rosetta too. What's the problem with installing it?

First install the Cloud desktop app. All installations and updates are managed via the Cloud Desktop app.
