AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find definitive information about whether ON1 Effects 2020 has been updated to a native Apple Silicon build. Given that this is a 2020-era product and we are now in mid-2026, ON1 Software may have released an updated version with native support, or they may have moved users to a newer major release. Contact ON1 Software directly to confirm whether your current version has a native Apple Silicon build available, or whether you should upgrade to a more recent product version. If no native build exists and no upgrade path is available, be aware that Intel-only builds will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027). As an actively maintained alternative with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, consider Adobe Photoshop with Lightroom, Capture One, or Affinity Photo — all are current, run natively on M-series Macs, and offer similar or superior effects and editing capabilities.
