1 suggestionON1 has been shipping native Apple Silicon builds since version 2021.6 (released in October 2021), and has continued to ship Universal Binaries in all releases since then—including the current 2025 and 2026 versions. If your copy is running under Rosetta, simply download the latest version from ON1's website or use the in-app updater (Help → Check for Updates), and the installer will automatically provide the native Apple Silicon build. No manual selection or beta channel is required; native Apple Silicon support is the standard for all current ON1 Photo RAW releases. The native build delivers noticeably better performance, faster rendering, and improved battery life on M-series Macs compared to running the older Intel version under Rosetta.
