Lightroom classic macbook air m1 full#

Lightroom has only “limited” support for M1 Max GPU, whereas M2 Ultra shows full GPU acceleration (and presumably M2 Max as well). Apple's 2020 13-inch MacBook Air was one in the first crop of computers to be powered by the company's M1 processor. 2020 Apple MacBook Air Laptop: Apple M1 Chip, 13 Retina Display, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage, Backlit Keyboard, FaceTime HD Camera, Touch ID. The Adobe Lightroom speed issue is thus fully explained by Lightroom failing to use all the cores, using only about 2/3 of the available processing power.

But there are 8 performance cores and 2 efficiency cores.

Yet that is the only test of many that shows such a marked performance differential.Īctivity Monitor shows Lightroom using only ~6 CPU cores and very little GPU. (tested 4 times, each time exported 100 RAW files taken with a7R IV). In terms of exporting ARW to JPG, M1 Pro is only about 10 faster than M1. And here to summarize them all for those who are still getting issues. However, to actually get it works on my M1, I had to try and combine all tutorials available online. Editing on M1 Pro is only slightly smoother. First of all, thanks to all of you who have shared solution for a working Lightroom Classic installation on M1 Mac. Before that, I used a maxed out 13' M1 MacBook Pro w/ 16GB RAM.

As in taking 2.8X times as long as the 2022 MacBook Pro M2 Max. Got the 14' M1 Pro (10-core, 16-core, 16GB). The 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Max is strangely slow with Adobe Lightroom, as shown in the graph below from the review page. SEND FEEDBACK Related: Apple, Apple MacBook Pro M1, Apple Silicon, GPU, laptop, Lightroom, MacBook, MacBook Pro, video Adobe claims ‘most operations in Lightroom Classic on an M1 Mac are about twice as fast, including launch, import, export, and walking through photos in loupe view.’ While claims like this should normally be taken with a grain of salt, Adobe does specify their methodology in the last page of the above PDF.
