However I then ran the same tests on the beta version of Photoshop that supports Apple M1.

The PC took 20 seconds to align the layers and 53 seconds to merge them - a clear victory for the PC. I compared that to an exceptionally powerful Windows desktop PC that was built with an AMD RyX CPU, Nvidia RTX Titan graphics and 128GB RAM, specifically to be a beast with editing photos and 8K video. Intel-based Photoshop, via Rosetta 2, took 50.3 seconds to align the layers and 1 minute, 37 seconds to merge them. It’s a technique I use regularly in my product photography, so it’s important for me to have good efficiency here. I tested how long it took Photoshop (both in Intel and M1 beta versions) to align 19 full-resolution raw images and then to merge them into a focus-stacked image.

Hoyle is CNET’ s European lead photographer. Professional photographer Andrew Hoyle said that he was “astonished” by the performance, and concludes that an M1 Mac is a safe bet for photographers looking to upgrade… An M1 MacBook Pro photo editing test found that the 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro running M1-optimized apps was faster than a ‘”beast” of a Windows desktop PC – despite the fact that the latter was specifically specced with photo editing in mind and had a massive 128 GB of RAM.
