Capture One Launches Native Support for M1 Macs | PetaPixel
Capture One is finally launching native M1 support for its photo editor and promises significant improvements to performance. With the optimized native software, the company says imports are up to two times faster while managing assets is 50-percent quicker.
Once Apple announced its own in-house silicon, Capture One believed it presented an opportunity to completely re-architecture its software. While the development team actually started work specifically on native M1 support in July of 2020, the company says that it actually started on the process of modernizing its codebase to provide native support on non-Intel platforms as far back as 2018. The result is what the company calls it a “fundamental redesign” of its system that is “braced for the future.”
The company says that the fruits of that labor are immediately noticeable, as it promises that M1-powered Macs running Capture One will make importing photos with the new Advanced Importer up to two times faster while managing those assets in Catalogs and Albums is now 50-percent quicker.
