When working in the Curator for Adobe panel, IPV supports native use of API when using Mac with an M1 / ARM processor as of Curator 3.5. However, in some Adobe Applications, the CEP extension framework used by Curator for Adobe is not supported and requires Rosetta to function.

If you are using a Mac with an M1 / ARM processor, you will need to use Rosetta in order for the following Adobe Creative Cloud Software to open the Curator for Adobe:

• Adobe Photoshop 2022 (version 24)
• Adobe Photoshop 2023 (version 23)

This is correct at the time of writing. Further information on Rosetta can be found from Apple's related support topic here. 

To use Rosetta with your Adobe applications, you will need to launch your Adobe applications in Intel (Rosetta) mode.

NOTE: On loading your Adobe apps for the first time using Rosetta, loading times will be slow, but will return to normal on subsequent loads.

To do this:

1. Open Adobe Creative Cloud.
2. Click the three dot menu to the right of your Adobe application and select Open (Intel).

To ensure the app opens using Rosetta each time you load it:

1. Locate the app file for your Adobe application in Finder.
2. Right-click and select Get Info, then check the Open using Rosetta tick box.

You may find it useful to test this has worked correctly by attempting to create a new project in your Adobe app and checking the import/check in/check out functionality is working as expected.

Please note that native support for Curator for Adobe on Macs with ARM / M architecture is available as of Curator 3.5 (Curator for Adobe version 3.3 and later). The lack of CEP support in Adobe Photoshop on Mac ARM / M architecture requires use of Rosetta for this application.

The alternative UXP framework, which is generally supported on ARM / M architecture, is not yet provided by Adobe for all applications in which Curator can be used, in particular not in Premiere Pro. IPV will be in position to explore the use of UXP to completely avoid the need for Rosetta once this is available.
