1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of Color Efex Pro 5 has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. Anyone still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version, which delivers noticeably better performance and improved battery life on M-series Macs. The simplest path is to check for updates within the application itself or download the current build directly from DXO's website, which will serve the Universal Binary to Apple Silicon Macs automatically.
