Migration
To stop Photoshop from running in Rosetta mode and instead run it natively at full speed on Apple Silicon (ARM) processors:
Quit Photoshop if it's open.
Open Finder → go to Applications.
Find the specific Adobe Photoshop.app version.
Right-click → Get Info.
In the Info window, uncheck:
"Open using Rosetta"Close the Info window.
Re-open Photoshop.
If that checkbox is not there, then:
You are already running the Apple Silicon (ARM) version.
Or you installed only the Intel version. In that case, reinstall via Creative Cloud:
Open Adobe Creative Cloud
Go to Apps
Next to Photoshop, select ••• → Other versions
Install the version with “(Apple Silicon)” in release notes (often automatic in newest versions).
