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

Correct answer John Waller

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

 

See 

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/adobe-lightroom-and-photoshop-work-on-apple-m2-chip-macbook-pro/td-p/13089609

 

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." 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.

Liquify doens't work with my mac book pro M2. I have to stop the use of the graphic processor in Photoshop to make it work, but then I can't use face detection. Many Mac M1 & M2 users report this issue. 

It's really anoying to go to photoshop preferencies, shut down the graphic processor and open it after, again and again, doing that is a waste of time and workflow and it's getting on many people nerves. Please Adobe, do something. Thanks

It should be now. Adobe supports Apple Silicon.
