QUESTION

Will Capture One run on my M1/M2 Mac?

 

ANSWER

All releases from  Capture One 21 (14.2.0) onwards are natively supported on Apple Silicon (M1) Macs. Additionally, Hardware Acceleration on Apple Silicon (M1/M2) machines is achieved using Metal - this is now also the case on Intel based Macs, if you are using Capture One 22 (15.3.0) or newer.

Previous versions of Capture One that have not been designed with silicon based Macs in mind, will still run on  Mac computers using the Rosetta 2 emulation platform. This is run by default and there's no need to change any preferences in order for Capture One to run.

The only known limitation when using Rosetta, is when it comes to tethering with Canon cameras. Download and install the latest firmware here to try remedying this issue.

    My conclusion "Does C1 run on Apple M1?": NOPE

    • C1 is still not ready for being rolled out 
    • Update will not be available for C1 20
    • Everybody who invested in Apple's new M1 chip need to invest again in an C1 update (or returns to LR or others) 

    Poor me .... having to wait ... not funny at all.
