Since the app’s editing engine is powered by Apple’s Metal API, it can easily take advantage of new chips like M1. As an example, the team says its ML Super Resolution feature is up to 15x faster on these new Macs. And as a universal app it will be compatible for M1 chips and Intel chips.

    I really like Pixelmator. Left Adobe years ago.
    Pixelmator Pro is a bargain.
