The splash screen and automatic updates speak for themselves.īut I have to talk about the other two options. There are a few things you can set on the app’s Preferences dialog. This is what I do because my regular export to web workflow relies heavily on Intel-only plugins, and this way I can initiate it right from Lightroom Classic. For example you can set it as an external editor in Lightroom Classic. You can use Kwiketta for Adobe Photoshop almost everywhere you would be able to use Adobe Photoshop. You got the idea.Ī Kwiketta item also appears on Finder’s Open With menu of all file types that Photoshop supports. Or you can drag files to the Kwiketta icon and they will pop into the Intel Photoshop. If I click the Kwiketta for Photoshop icon, then the Intel version of Photoshop will launch, complete with my Intel-only plugins. If I click the Photoshop icon, the Apple Silicon Photoshop will launch. ![]() ![]() And this is why the first Kwiketta app, Kwiketta for Adobe Photoshop, was born.Īs you can see on the screen shot above, I put Kwiketta for Adobe Photoshop right next to Adobe Photoshop on my dock. I wanted a solution that, unlike fiddling with the aforementioned checkbox, doesn’t completely destroy my creative workflow. Second, switching between the native Apple Silicon and Intel versions is a royal pain in the back: open the Get Info panel for Photoshop and toggle the Open using Rosetta checkbox. First, I don’t always want the Intel version, because it’s slower, etc. So, to be able to use these plugins, I have to launch the Intel version of Photoshop on my shiny new M1 Max Macbook Pro. Unfortunately PixelGenius closed its business and ceased further product development years ago. I still rely on PhotoKit plugins for Adobe Photoshop. ![]() That is, a Kwiketta app works and acts exactly like its target, allowing you to selectively launch either the native, Apple Silicon version (using the target directly) or the Intel version (using Kwiketta) of the target. And while doing so, they pass all files dragged to their icons or passed to them other ways, like using the Open With menu item in Finder, to the target. Kwiketta is a new group of little utilities that launch their associated targets directly under Rosetta, the Intel processor emulation on Apple Silicon Macs.
