Adobe's Photoshop team says that transitioning the app over to Apple Silicon was initially intimidating but made easier thanks to Apple's "significant investment" in developer tools.
On Wednesday, Adobe officially updated Photoshop to run natively on the M1 chip. A couple of days later,
Computer Worldspoke with Mark Dahm, the principal product manager for Photoshop, to get further details about the transition.
From the start, Dahm said that the initial scope of the project was "a little intimidating," since the team wanted to ensure that performance on Apple Silicon wasn't compromised in any way. However, since Photoshop existed through the Mac PowerPC to Intel transition, Dahm said there were some familiar considerations.
