# Curator for Adobe on Apple silicon (M1/ARM) Macs

When using the Curator for Adobe panel, IPV now offers native API support for Macs with M1/ARM processors starting from Curator 3.5. However, some Adobe applications still rely on the CEP extension framework used by Curator for Adobe, which is incompatible with M1/ARM architecture and requires Rosetta to function.

If you’re using a Mac with an M1/ARM processor, you’ll need to use Rosetta to run the following Adobe Creative Cloud applications with the Curator for Adobe:

- Adobe Photoshop 2022- present

This information is accurate at the time of writing. For more details about Rosetta, refer to Apple’s support documentation.

To run Adobe applications using Rosetta:

1. Open Adobe Creative Cloud.
2. Click the three-dot menu next to your Adobe app and select "Open (Intel)".

To ensure the app always runs with Rosetta:

1. Locate the app in Finder.
2. Right-click, select "Get Info," and check the "Open using Rosetta" box.

You can verify the setup by starting a new project in your Adobe app and checking that the import, check-in, and check-out functions work as expected.

Note: Initial loading times may be slower when launching Adobe apps using Rosetta, but will normalise after the first load.

Native support for Curator for Adobe on M1/ARM Macs is available starting from Curator 3.5 (Curator for Adobe version 3.3 and above). However, due to the lack of CEP framework support on Mac M1/ARM for Adobe Photoshop, Rosetta remains necessary.

While Adobe’s UXP framework is generally compatible with M1/ARM architecture, it is not yet available for all applications that support Curator, such as Premiere Pro.
