Adobe Zii: A New Era for MacBook Users

In recent news, Apple has released its latest lineup of MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro devices powered by the M1 chip. This new chip promises massive performance gains over prior Intel chips, offering up to 3.5 times faster CPU performance and up to 5 times faster graphics. For Adobe users, this means a whole new world of creative possibilities.

As Apple's Senior Vice President, Craig Federighi, revealed during the event, Adobe is set to release Lightroom CC for M1-powered Macs in December, followed by Photoshop in early 2021. This marks an exciting development for photographers and creatives who rely heavily on these applications.

However, it's worth noting that Adobe has not yet released a timeline for other Adobe apps built for the M1 chip. While Lightroom Classic 10 can be run under Rosetta 2 emulation, this is not officially supported by Adobe, and users do assume some risk when using it.

For early adopters of the new Apple silicon Macs, compatibility with Adobe apps will be critical. Fortunately, Adobe has confirmed that they are working on releasing new versions of their software compatible with the M1 chip. These updates will be essential for Adobe Lightroom users looking to take full advantage of the new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini devices.

As Apple continues to push the boundaries of innovation, it's clear that this new era of MacBook computing will bring unprecedented opportunities for creatives. With Adobe Zii leading the charge, it's an exciting time to be a part of the Apple ecosystem.
