AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about Exposure X4's Apple Silicon support status through web search. To determine whether a native build exists and when it will be available, contact Alien Skin Software directly at their support page or email — ask them explicitly whether they ship a native Apple Silicon (arm64) build today, and if not, when they plan to release one. This is important because an Intel-only version will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), which is now less than 28 months away. If the developer indicates a native version is planned before that deadline, plan to update when it becomes available. If they signal that support is uncertain or delayed, you may want to research alternative raw editors with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, such as Capture One (which has native support) or Affinity Photo 2, to ensure your workflow survives the Rosetta 2 removal date.
