How Do I Install Photoshop on M1 Mac?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:30 pm

Assuming you have already downloaded Photoshop from the Adobe website, installation is a fairly simple process. Here are the steps:

1. Open the Photoshop DMG file. This will be a file with a name like “photoshop_CC_2020_mac.dmg” and will be in your Downloads folder unless you specified a different location when you downloaded it.

2.

A window will open showing the Photoshop CC application icon. Drag this icon to your Applications folder.

3. Now open your Applications folder and double-click on the Photoshop CC icon to launch the program.

And that’s it! You’ve now installed Photoshop CC on your Mac.

PRO TIP: If you are looking for instructions on how to install Photoshop on an M1 Mac, be aware that there are currently no official instructions from Adobe. There are a few unofficial methods that have been shared online, but we cannot guarantee that any of them will work or be safe to use. Proceed at your own risk.
