Since then, Adobe InDesign CC has become the industry leading page layout program used by professional publishers and home users alike.

It gradually ended the dominance of QuarkXpress (which Adobe tried to acquire in the early days) and was easily the leading page composition software on Mac at the time. InDesign started life as Aldus Pagemaker but was relaunched way back in 1999 as InDesign.

What Is The Difference Between Photoshop and InDesign?.

Does Adobe InDesign Work on M1 & M2 Macs?.

New retouching features are coming to Photoshop Express, a rotate view is coming to Illustrator on desktop, and new styling tools are coming to Adobe XD. Lightroom and Lightroom Classic are getting new premium presets and collaborative editing capabilities. In addition to the optimization for M1 Macs, Adobe is also shipping some new features for the Creative Cloud suite. The only difference, per the research, came down to features that needed GPU acceleration, where an Intel Mac with a discrete GPU “can still outperform the current generation of M1 Macs in some areas.” All these apps no longer run under Apple’s Rosetta 2 emulation, which is designed for apps running on Intel-based Macs. Adobe had claimed that opening and saving files, running filters, and compute-heavy operations in Photoshop could be up to 1.5 times faster on Apple M1 Macs compared to the non-optimized version. As for Lightroom Classic, the tasks included importing RAW images, full-screen image selection, and merging and enhancing images.Īdobe Photoshop was also optimized for M1 silicon in March, after a period of testing. Tasks included dealing with sector-based illustrations and complex artboards on Illustrator and brochures with high-resolution images in InDesign. In the average of all tested benchmarks, Adobe Illustrator saw a 65% performance increase over the Intel Mac, InDesign a 59% increase, and Lightroom Classic a 116% increase. More specifically, Adobe and Pfeiffer Consulting find that with these new native apps, you can see some big gains.
