![]() This should see an improvement over the rosetta translated version, and is available now as an update if you already use the application. I’m really curious to see how this performs, as its quite slow on my old Mac Pro (mind you, so is everything these days!) Exposure X6Įxposure software just announced that their Exposure software has been ported to M1. I don’t have an M1 Mac to try this yet, but I’m hoping to get my hands on one soon, and when I do I’ll have a full test of various applications. When paired with Mac computers outfitted with the M1 chip, the technology can be applied seamlessly every time.” Because the technology applies a denoising and a demosaicing algorithm simultaneously, the quality of photos (including low-ISO images) processed with DxO DeepPRIME is unmatched. In fact, the Apple M1 chip greatly reduces the time it takes to complete all edits. ![]() Images are exported at 1.5 mpix/s, which is faster than the previous version of DxO PRIME. “Users can now process their images three to five times faster compared to the most recent 13” MacBook Pro and Mac Mini for nearly half the cost-and in silence. I couldn’t get an answer from them as to whether or not this is the case, but judging by the performance improvements, I’m guessing that it is. This is an interesting one, because the software uses AI for its “Deep Prime” noise reduction technology, so if they’re using compatible frameworks, this should be accelerated by the M1’s machine learning cores. DXO PhotoLab 4.1ĭXO Photolab announced an M1 version recently, and they were pretty excited about it in their press release, citing significant performance improvements. If you’re using Lightroom Classic and you have one of these new Macs you’ll have to wait a bit longer, but if you are a Lightroom Desktop user, then you now have a fully optimised version. Unfortunately this is only Lightroom Desktop (the cloud version of Lightroom) and not Lightroom Classic. LightroomĪdobe released an updated version of Lightroom a little while ago. While we’re still waiting on some of the key applications, there has recently been some bigger names releasing M1 optimised versions. All Affinity apps are currently available to purchase individually for $60 each on the Affinity website, no subscriptions required.Since the release of Apple’s new MacBooks and Mac mini powered by their own Apple Silicon, software ported to these new M1 processors has steadily been released. The 1.10.3 update is available across all Affinity apps on macOS today and is free to existing users. Lastly, the Affinity apps have also been optimized to deliver smooth rendering at 120fps on the new MacBook Pros, similar to the equivalent Affinity apps on iPad. Gone are the days of compressing highlights to recover detail-fundamentally changing the way we use computers to process photographs." Displays like the new Liquid Retina XDR can easily display the entire dynamic range captured by dSLRs, so the way you develop RAW changes completely, not just for bracketed merge shots, but for single images. We spent most of our time trying to work around the fact that our cameras shoot a few stops more light than can be displayed properly on a standard screen. "The new XDR display is also a game-changer for photographers. The new MacBook Pro also features a Liquid Retina XDR display, which completely changes the way photographers can edit images in Affinity Photo, according to Hewson. Our changes have also improved performance on the previous M1 chip, which is now roughly 10% faster in our benchmark in version 1.10.3."Įspecially as the GPU isn’t the only big win here - the “Vector (Multi CPU)” score in the #M1Max is the highest we have ever measured (for Affinity Designer users), as is the “Combined (Single GPU)” score (for Affinity Publisher, by some margin). "The results of this work yield a benchmark score of around 30,000 for the M1 Max 32core GPU, absolutely obliterating any other single GPU score we have ever measured. This required us to step back and think again about where performance bottlenecks might be, as it's clear the 'old rules' no longer apply. "The new GPU represents an industry reflection point-we now have compute performance surpassing nearly all discrete GPU hardware, but retain the key benefits of unified memory. Serif today announced updates for its popular suite of Affinity creative apps that bring official support for macOS Monterey and optimizations for the new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips powering Apple's latest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros.Īccording to Ashley Hewson, managing director of Affinity developer Serif, buyers of the latest MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips will enjoy "stunning speed improvements" when using all three apps:
