Installing Lightroom Classic without Rosetta

[lbass]

Hi there,

I have had this issue with a few apps. There was the announcement that Lightroom Classic is now M1 native. I have not installed Rosetta on my M1 air and I cannot work out how to install Lightroom without it. Does anyone have a link to installing Lightroom without Rosetta?

Thanks!

The installer might still be Intel even if it installs a Apple silicon version of the app.

Is there anyway to get around that? I have at least 5 apps that are M1 native with intel installers.

Probably not. I’m not sure why it matters though. Rosetta 2 is tiny and works fine. There is no reason to avoid it.

I have been avoiding it for months! I just assumed it would affect battery life and performance. Is that not the case?

You assume wrong

It only runs when invoked. If you aren’t running Intel apps, it does nothing.
