Adobe Creative Cloud on M1 Devices: A Guide to Download and Install

Are you using Adobe Creative Cloud applications on your Macbook device with an Apple M1 or M2 chip? If so, you may have noticed some compatibility issues with certain integrations. In this article, we will guide you through the process of downloading and installing Rosetta, a compatibility mode that will help you overcome these difficulties.

Recently, Adobe made a change to their Creative Cloud applications, which affects how they work on devices with M1 or M2 chips. Specifically, users may encounter issues using certain integrations, including Adobe Bridge CC, which has now received an enhanced user interface for a more seamless experience similar to other Creative Cloud apps.

To resolve these compatibility issues, you will need to use Rosetta, a compatibility mode that allows your Macbook device to run applications designed for Intel-based devices. To do this, follow the steps outlined below:

1. First, ensure that Photoshop is fully quit before proceeding.

2. Open Terminal on your Macbook and paste the following command: `/usr/sbin/softwareupdate -install-rosetta` and hit enter.

3. Once Rosetta is installed, you need to open Photoshop in Rosetta by checking the box beside 'Open using Rosetta' in the infobox.

4. Go to Finder > Applications > Photoshop and ensure that it has been fully quit before proceeding.

By following these steps, you will be able to run Adobe Photoshop on your M1 or M2 chip device using Rosetta compatibility mode. While some performance degradation may occur in Rosetta compatibility mode, this workaround should help you overcome any difficulties you encounter with using Adobe Creative Cloud applications on your Macbook device.
