Are you asking about third party software or the software provided by Apple?

Photos for Mac or Preview can do basic image processing.

As Yer_Man wrote, if an application is compatible with Big Sur, it will run on a M1 Mac. But that will not necessarily mean, that is will be using the Apple Silicon processor, but may be running in the Rosetta environment. If you want a software that is really using Apple Silicon, look at the vendors website. For example, Luminar AI is running on M1 Macs, but does not use the Apple Silicon features directly.
