I’ve just published an update for Quick and Dirty - The simple image editor for the MacBook Pro with Retina Display…

No – I’ve not started a carrier as a director for crappy porn movies and I also did not created a remix for DJ Kue.

I’ve written Quick and Dirty just to have a simple solution for my new MacBook Pro with Retina Display. To crop, adjust and save images for weblog articles or to quickly create screen shots with annotations for the MOApp support for the time being – until others will fill that void.

Of course, it will also work with Non-Retina Displays/Macs as well – but keep in mind, that it can only work for one pixel density at a time. On multiple display setups you should always use it on the main screen.

It is not perfect, does only the really basic stuff – but is fast and easy to use. Open image, crop it, enhance it and save it for the web in less than 3 seconds. That’s its purpose. Nothing else.

It makes use of the Photoshop shortcuts for those tasks and it is designed to not alter the original file until you really want/need to. That’s why you can only save for the web or save a copy by default/ with the standard actions and that’s also why Auto Save and Versions are disabled by default and the recommended way to save an edited image is by using the ‘Save for Web…’ menu command.

That’s pretty much all you need to know. And no – it is not written to be a replacement for any other image editing App at all. And it will never be – but if you find a bug, I’ll be happy to fix it.

Have fun with your awesome new Retina MacBook Pro and maybe a little bit with Quick and Dirty :–)
