Lightroom is Adobe's cloud-based photo organization and editing app, designed for photographers who want to manage large image libraries, apply non-destructive edits, and sync their work across desktop and mobile devices. It offers a library module for organizing photos by keywords and metadata, a develop module for color grading and adjustments, and sharing tools for creating galleries and lightboxes. Lightroom works with raw formats from most camera manufacturers and integrates with cloud storage for seamless backup and mobile access. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAdobe has shipped a native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of Lightroom since late 2020, so if you are still running the Intel version under Rosetta, updating will give you noticeably better performance and improved battery life on your M-series Mac. The easiest path is to open Lightroom, go to Help → Check for Updates, and let Adobe's auto-updater pull the latest native build. Alternatively, download the current Lightroom installer from adobe.com/products/lightroom and reinstall — the installer automatically serves the native build on Apple Silicon Macs. If Lightroom was installed via the Creative Cloud desktop app, open Creative Cloud, find Lightroom in your installed apps, and click Update. Your photo library, presets, and all settings will carry over without any manual migration.
