Unlike a traditional application that you’d find in the Store, this compatibility package isn’t actually an application, so you won’t find it in the Start menu. What’s in the OpenCL and OpenGL Compatibility Pack? When you install the compatibility pack alongside your Qualcomm DirectX 12 driver, the ARM-native version of Photoshop can use the compatibility pack to take advantage of the GPU capabilities on your ARM device: The mapping layers are now available for download in the Microsoft Store as the OpenCL™ and OpenGL® Compatibility Pack. We’re excited to share that we are partnering with Adobe to bring GPU acceleration to Photoshop on ARM using the OpenCL and OpenGL mapping layers. Developers will need a paid subscription to Photoshop to discover and install this beta version through the Creative Cloud desktop app. Today, Adobe has released a beta version of Photoshop- built natively for ARM64-for developers to bring their Photoshop plug-ins to Windows on ARM. In September, Chief Product Officer of Windows + Devices Panos Panay talked about the momentum from app partners embracing Windows 10 on ARM in a blog post. We have made tremendous progress since then, and today, we’re excited to talk more about the project and share one specific use case: Photoshop on Windows 10 on ARM. Earlier this year, we announced a partnership with Collabora to build OpenCL and OpenGL mapping layers to DirectX 12, with the goal of supporting more OpenCL- and OpenGL-based productivity and creative apps where native drivers are not available.
