Kwiketta for Adobe Photoshop 1.1 is Out

My “quickly open Photoshop using Rosetta” app, Kwiketta, has been updated to fully support macOS 13.

Part of this is that Preferences is renamed to Settings to reflect macOS 13’s new nomenclature. Of course it’s adaptive, and on previous OS versions it stays the old way.

And as you can see on the screen shot above, the app works perfectly with the latest and greatest Adobe Photoshop 2023 as well.

Version 1.1 can be downloaded from the app’s web site, or by clicking Kwiketta for Adobe Photoshop > Check for Updates… in the menu.

The update – and the app itself – is free. But consider buying me a coffee if it helps you in your work.

Kuuvik Capture 6.1 Available Now

We’ve released a minor update to Kuuvik Capture earlier this week. It brings Canon EOS R7 support and mostly OS compatibility updates.

On the Mac the app follows the system-wide renaming of Preferences to Settings in macOS 13. Plus, you can now set the app’s appearance (that is, light or dark) independent of your Mac’s system setting.

On iPadOS 16 this release restores the ability to use the actual device name during pairing.

In the new operating system Apple finally fixed the severe issues that plagued multi-touch in iPadOS 15, so we’ve updated our touch detection code to take advantage of the corrected behavior.

The iPadOS bug where the OS may fail to properly close the app before updating it, and subsequently, not knowing which one to run, greets users with a pitch black screen, affects Kuuvik Capture as well. The fix is quite easy: force quit and restart the app (both copies) to wipe corrupted state information. See our knowledge base article for detailed instructions.

The update is free for existing users, and is available on the respective App Store.

ShutterCount 6.2 Released with Canon EOS R7 and iPad Stage Manager Support

The latest update to my ShutterCount app is now available on the App Store. It adds the long-awaited Canon EOS R7 support as the headline feature.

This release also improves multitasking (split view and slide over) compatibility on iPad, and works with Stage Manager on iPadOS 16.

There are other small changes for Apple’s new operating systems, like following the system-wide rename of Preferences to Settings on macOS 13 and re-enabling the retrieval of the actual device name during network pairing on iOS/iPadOS 16.

So it is highly recommended to update the app if you are using these new operating systems.

The update is free for existing users, and is available on the respective App Store.
