Is there any time line on when adobe will support the new MacBook Pro M2.

    Apple Silicon is supported. Thus, M2 is already supported.

     

    See

    When you install Photoshop on an ARM-based Apple Silicon processor (e.g. M1, M2) it will install and run natively.

    There are some known issues and limitations. M1 articles also apply to M2.

      This is not correct, I have been strictly told that the M2 is not fully supported. The liquify does not work properly at all on there and the pathing is not correct either. This makes it very hard to use. 

      https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/apple-silicon-m1-chip.html

      I was quoted from the above document - "These apps run natively on Mac computers with M1 chip but we're still testing and optimizing them for Mac computers with M2 chip. We recommend using these apps currently in Mac computers with M1 chip only." On this discussion thread https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/photoshop-s-liquify-filter-not-loading-on-macos/td-p/13025958/page/2

      If it supposed to be working then it's not.

        Just FYI. When I tried to report the above issues as a bug my report was converted into a discussion. Is there any way to actually contact Adobe about issues? I have gone from an intel chip to a high spec brand new macbook pro with an M2 Max Chip and immediately see it is not working in the same way or correctly which is very frustrating when you've spent £5k on new equipment, which it is unclear whether it is properly supported.

          It should be now. Adobe supports Apple Silicon.
