Hi All, I’m using portrait pro for years and I recently discovered that it’s still an intel application.
So yes it works on the new M1, but as it uses the compatibility mode and it’s not a native app, it’s very slow. Especially while using portrait pro studio max.
Any information on an update ? If no update on the pipeline, is there any other app you can recommend?

I contacted the support, they said their software are compatibe with mac silicon and no developpement are planned to upgrade.
It's time to move to another software.

Well I hope they come up with an update. When it works right, it can be a very useful tool.
Comparing with alternatives - in a few reviews I have read, it seemed to beat the alternative touch-up software out there.
In the meantime I will delve into learning more about the latest version of Photoshop.

WELL now Portrait Pro 23.01 only works as a plug-in with Photoshop - tried to log in to Portrait Pro support page but the page won't load. Anyone at home here? I still have 170+ spam messages in the forum here, is there no one monitoring or moderating anything at this forum? Frustrating.
If I open a file with only Portrait Pro running, it goes into plug-in mode even though I don't have Photoshop running. Was attempting to do some background replacement but it's now borked.

Just stopping in to say I am greatly disappointed in the new 'AI' features in v24. Unless they are greatly improved (inpainting feature is rudimentary, I can do much better with photoshop or even with cheap AI programs). Hope they will be greatly improved in an update that doesn't cost money or I will be done with this program. Do better. I've been with pp a long time but this is a great disappointment.
