Hey there, Stephen. There’s nothing that you need to do to install the Topaz apps as plugins for LR or PS on your M1 machine. Just run the updates and you should be good to go. If you don’t see the plugins listed under the Filter menu item in PS, launch each Topaz app, go to Help, and then click on Re-Install Photoshop Plugins. If you still don’t see them, then I recommend uninstalling each Topaz app and re-installing them.
As for being able to run our apps without using Rosetta emulation, that currently isn’t an option. While our apps will run on Apple M1 computers, they use Rosetta to do so. We are looking into optimizing our apps to run natively on Apple M1 silicon, so stay tuned!
