AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of Photo Mechanic Plus 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 will provide noticeably better performance and battery efficiency on M-series Macs. Visit the Camera Bits website or check for updates within the app itself to download the native build. Existing photos, catalogs and preferences will carry over seamlessly during the upgrade.
