9/25/2023 0 Comments Gimpmac m1![]() ![]() At some point I'll consider upgrading my Intel MBP (its performance is still considered good since it has an i9 processor with dedicated graphics). Apart from performance, another advantage of ARM architecture is longer battery life. NTFS for Mac and unlocking the Mac with my Apple watch didn't work until I went into system files to completely purge them.did they work after a fresh install. I have a 2019 15" MBP, and ran into a couple issues when upgrading to Big Sur (and you may not run into these issues if you're doing a fresh install). I think there may be bugs on Big Sur that appears either on Intel or M1 chipsets. If you wanted to be an adopter of Adobe on M1, Adobe actually has had a beta available for the M1 chipset (I don't think it will take up to a year for an official release). When it comes to the M1 chip running x86 software: it does seem performance is quite good at emulating them through Rosetta 2. If anything, I would wonder more about how long Apple will support Intel Macs. ![]() With Intel chipsets, Big Sur is supported on MacBook Pro late 2013 to present (so 7 years). Apple has been quite clear that they will be rolling out their own ARM based architecture (which M1 is the first) to replace all tiers of Intel chipsets during a 2 year transition. I'm not sure about Moppie's comments of M1 only being supported for 2 years. I suspect it won't take much for Canon to develop DPP for the M1. So if you download that, it will be native. When it comes to ARM support, Cannon has had DPP express for iOS for a couple years. Now more than ever we need to be a community, working together and for each other, as photographers, as lovers of photography and as members of POTN. The change to a different chip and OS opens lots of opportunities for new software to be developed for photographers, but users they will be riding the bleeding edge of development, and as early adopters will have to be prepared for some short upgrade cycles until the hardware and software matures. If you're prepared to invest into the Apple ecosystem and are prepared to buy new hardware on a cycle they set, and can live with the uncertainty around support for known apps, then an M1 based Macbook would be an interesting computer. Whether or not Canon make a new version of DPP is totally up to Canon, I suspect they will, but only Canon can tell you when. Any software not redeveloped for the new architecture will not run beyond that. ![]() This will work for hopefully 2 years, then support will be discontinued. However, the new OS does come with Rosetta 2, which is a software layer that can emulate X86 allowing existing software to run on the M1 based macbooks. Moving to the M1 chip-set is a massive step change, it uses a totally different architecture to the X86 intel based Macbooks and while it's been in use in the iPhone for a while, this is the first time it's been used in a more traditional computing form factor. It's very likely that in 2 years (or less) the new M1 based macbooks will be out dated and unlikely to support newer versions of the OS. It's a very good question, but there is a high chance you'll suffer from early adopter syndrome.Īpple have a long history of dropping support for first versions of new hardware very early, and there is often limited software support from developers. Windows might be okay but I'd feel better with a local account (same with a mac but.) And probably air gapped from the net which also is doable until I need to get software that needs it's license validated. Right now Linux really is not cutting it for me. ![]() I've used a mbp a long time ago, it was alright I did find it very backwards. Can't see renting software I'd barely use.Īnyone looking at the apple silicon? The m1 systems? Will Canon port their DPP software to it? I'm sure the adobe suit is going to work on it as well as apples own offerings.īut I'm not an adobe user (at least yet) I've been okay using Canon DPP (don't work on Linux) and gimp. Mac's are really not on my radar but every so often they'll blip into my periphery but I've been sort of looking at the new apple m1 13" mbp mostly for a digital darkroom. Okay, I can't believe I'm actually looking more into this. This sort of ties into another thread I have here about me shortchanging myself with my current operating system. ![]()
