It's may be free in monetary terms, but it's not free in temporal investment.

Apple M1 chip machines are incredible - I have a new M1 MacBook with 16gb RAM and S/S HDD. Compared to my 2017 iMac it's lightyears ahead. The Apple Photos App is really quite powerful and accepts add-ins too. Having said that the M1 machine can run just about everything at speeds you won't have dreamed of.

I am a long time Mac user, and I have been using Photoshop since the first version, and I am now on the subscription. I have never tried Photos because I very much doubt it could do anything that Photoshop can't.

He just got it and is starting to explore it. How else would you do it? Snarky comment.

I have been a Mac and Photos user since 2011. I tried Photoshop Elements several years ago, but it seemed cumbersome on the Mac at times. I also use Pixelmator with Photos for additional editing options, worth a look. It has many options similar to photoshop. But it really depends on what you want to do with your photos.

Your sarcasm is not appreciated nor necesssary. You need to learn how to use some tact.

And just whose sarcasm are you referring to? You need to learn how to use “Quote Reply”.

Apple Photos is a decent editor for RAW if you are not doing batch editing. The issue that I have is that I primarily use Apple photos for sharing only photos that I want to share among my desktop, iPad and iPhone or with family using Apple’s photo sharing. So only maybe 20% of my photos make it to Apple photos. But when I start adding RAW photos to be converted there is no way to keep those photos from automatically being shared to my other devices unless I move them back out of photos once done editing. So the RAW format files clutter up and slow down the access from my other devices, and also can greatly increase my cell phone data usage if I am doing anything with Apple photos on my iPhone while not on WiFi.
But it is a simple/ quick editor that will do a good job with RAW files. I just don’t think Apple has put enough effort into the workflow of converting from RAW to jpg combined with their photo sharing / iCloud features.

At last someone answered the question. And I learned something, even though I'm an M1 iMac Lightroom and Photoshop user.

That's "Photos"? I've never used it. I should take a look.

Isn't that the whole point of this hobby?

The M1 chip has nothing to do with Photos software. The Photos software has the same capability as before the M1 chip.

The M1 family has gotten rave reviews. Even the base model seems to be able to do anything. Which SSD did you get?
