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

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.

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."

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

As already mentioned earlier in this discussion, the Adobe article regarding Apple Silicon compatibility requires careful reading regarding which apps the note about the M2 applies to.

The qualifying note about the M2 does not apply to the entire list of apps.

The footnote in parentheses about the M2 refers only to the apps listed in that article which are marked with an asterisk.
