Adobe has released beta versions of its Photoshop for ARM photo retouching program, compatible with Windows and macOS operating systems.

   With these beta versions, users with Surface Pro X with at least 8GB of RAM and Windows 10 build 19041.488 or Apple's new MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and MacBook mini with M1 chip will be able to run Photoshop natively on their devices.

   Being beta versions, there are some functions that are not available yet, such as the patch tool, the correction brush, adaptive wide angle or content-aware fill.

   "This is not a fully functional version of Photoshop; it contains several limitations compared to the more available version of Photoshop (...). Over time, more functions will be available," explained the company both in the version for Windows and for macOS.

   There are also some features that are present in this version, but with limitations or bugs such as importing photos from Lightroom through the home screen, the Filters Gallery functions will appear to hang but then it will succeed and change the Stroke pixel size behavior does not work as expected.

   To access these beta versions, users can do so through the Creative Cloud Desktop application and must have ARM 'hardware' that meets the minimum system requirements.
