Adobe said that its Creative Cloud applications are running more than 80% faster on Macs with Apple’s M1’s processor compared to identical systems powered by Intel.
The benchmarks from Adobe, which land among the release of several Creative Cloud apps for M1, were conducted by Pfeiffer Consulting in a study commissioned by Adobe. Adobe also shipped M1 native versions of Illustrator, InDesign and Lightroom Classic. Premiere Pro for M1 Macs is currently in public beta.
Key findings from the Adobe/Pfeiffer report:
Adobe Sensei features optimized for Apple M1 machine learning architecture showed 4x to 6x performance gains. Photoshop and Lightroom Classic showed the most gains in performance by running on M1. Photoshop gains increase with the complexity of assets. Importing footage in four different video formats showed performance gains ranging from 67% to 187% running on M1 vs. Intel Macs.
In addition to the M1 native releases, Adobe also added new features in its June Creative Cloud updates. Features include:
New collaborative editing capabilities and Premium Presents in Lightroom as well as custom crop aspect ratios. New retouching features in Photoshop Express.Custom brushes in Photoshop on iPad. Rotate view in Illustrator on desktop. New styling tools in Adobe XD.
