Given that this is a 2023 release from Corel (a major software company that typically maintains active development), you should check Corel's official website or contact their support to inquire about Apple Silicon compatibility or upcoming updates. If you need a native alternative immediately, consider Pixelmator Pro, which offers excellent painting tools and photo effects with full Apple Silicon optimization, though it has a different interface and workflow. Adobe Fresco is another strong alternative for digital painting with native Apple Silicon support, particularly if you're interested in both raster and vector painting capabilities.
