Coordinates, Pixel grid or Retina screen error?

Hi.
I'd appreciate any help on this.
I've had numerous problems crop up with CC, but this one is doing my head in.
There's a box, I've set it to 0,0 coords, but it will not stick to the top of the artboard. I've tried align to pixel grid on and off (It would not move off 0.318px when I had align pixel grid on, which confused me too!). When I turn align to pixel grid off the box stays closer to the top, BUT when I export for web it sticks a white line in at the very top of the artwork.
I'm on a macbook pro, retina.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Aran

Aran,
If the rectangle has a stroke, try to remove it.

Photoshop CS6 looks pixelated on Mac Retina screen

I have Photoshop CS6 running on a MacBook Pro with a 15" retina screen. By default it runs in low-resolution, which makes everything pixelated. When I right-click on the app and go to "Get Info" I see an option to "Open in Low Resolution". When I uncheck it Photoshop opens in high-resolution and it looks beautiful, but it's unusable: I can't click on any of the tools, the sidebars, or anything. So I bring it back to low-resolution and everything works well, except that it looks pixelated again.
I have the 13.0 update (the latest one) and there aren't any additional updates according to Photoshop.
Is there any way to have Photoshop CS6 run in high-resolution?
Thank you very much!

Thank you, Gene, but that's exactly what I was trying before and it doesn't work. In my OP I explained what happens when I try that:

When I open Photoshop and go to Help > System Info this is what I see:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 (13.0 20120315.r.428 2012/03/15:21:00:00) x64
Operating System: Mac OS 10.10.3
It's not 13.0.6. However, when I go to Help > Updates it tells me that all my applications are already up-to-date.
Any other ideas?

Why does my MacBook Pro Retina screen display pixilated graphics when using the finder?

While this started just after the latest OS X update, each time I use the finder now to locate a graphic to upload, the graphic appears extremely pixelated. It does not matter which application I use to search and upload a graphic file, the graphic appears smaller and bleeds out. I just purchased the new Video Motion Pro video editing software, and every single graphic I upload to this application is pixelated. Has anyone else had any problems with their retina display after the last update?
Here are some examples of hi resolution graphics that now appear pixelated on my Retina screen:

If anyone is aware of an application or Apple software test that allows me to check my graphic card and retina display, please advise. I have performed multiple disk utility checks, restarts, etc., but nothing seems to help.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Single pixel white line across macbook pro retina screen

I have a Mid-2012 model of the Macbook Pro 15inch with Retina screen which is just out of 1 year warentee.
There has suddenly appeared a very thin white (pixelated) line across my screen - about 1/3 way down from the top.
Its constantly there, but more visible on a grey background.
I've contacted Mac about it and they say since its out of warentee they can't help!
Its literally 14months old... almost seems like the issue is perfectly timed to happen just out of warentee!
I'd be keen to hear if others have experienced similar problems with the retina screen or have found any solutions!
Loyal Mac user since 2002!

You could reboot your device by pressing the home button + power button at the same time for about 10 sec. until it shuts down and restarts again.

Mbp retina screen pixelated my older programs. Is there a fix?

How can u fix the display issue the retina screen poses onto older programs such as cs5 and Microsoft office ?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because those applications aren't ready for Retina resolutions. In your case, the only way to make those applications work correctly is to upgrade those applications (the most recent CS and Office 2011 supports Retina), or open System Preferences > Displays, and select a smaller resolution

Why is 1440 x 900 "Best" for the Retina Screen per Apple?

Okay, in the System Preferences folder you can set the new MBP-R screen to one of the following settings with the description Apple provides by going to the System Preferences folder, then choosing "Displays", then unselecting the default "Best for Retina display" button by choosing instead the, "scaled" button. When you do that, you get the following choices with warnings on four of the five choices (for a screen shot see the link below):
1024 x 640, Larger Text, "Using a scaled resolution may effect performance."
1280 x 800, "Using a scaled resolution may effect performance."
1440 x 900, Best (Retina)
1680 x 1050 "Using a scaled resolution may effect performance."
1920 x 1200. More space, "Using a scaled resolution may effect performance."
There is no option for native 2880 x 1800 as presumably the text would be so tiny.
My question is, why does Apple call the 1440 x 900, "Best (Retina)"? What is best about it, why do only the other four have the scaled resolution warning since they all five are scaled are they not? Peformance concerns aside, can't I have confidence that all resolutions will be crisp as all are scaled as none are actually native (2880 x 1880)?
Then, Anand Tech has an article on how Apple handles this scaling, and they say,
"Retina MBP ships in a pixel doubled configuration. You get the effective desktop resolution of the standard 15-inch MacBook Pro's 1440 x 900 panel, but with four physical pixels driving every single pixel represented on the screen. This configuration is the best looking, . . ."
And they note the other resolutions have the potential to suffer performance and picture quality loss compared to the "Best" setting in the middle. But they just say this quality drop "can" happen, not that it "will" happen.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5996/how-the-retina-display-macbook-pro-handles-sc aling
Can someone explain why this middle setting is inherently "Best", is it because the native resolution is divisible by this setting (2880 divisible by 1440; and 1800 divisible by 900)? And why does Anand Tech say there might be a quality impact in the other four? When would quality be compromised, when wouldn't it?
Thanks!

Basically the native resolution of the retina display is 2880x1800.
so if you're using 1440x900 then everything is perfect (which is why apple recommends it). Every pixel can be mapped to 2 pixels of the retina display, and everything is sharp.
for other resolutions,
Every single (clear) pixel, gets blurred with it's neighbors, or displaced and doubled, changing the size and shape of the displayed images.
Imagine two grids. One is 2x2 (4 pixels total). The other is 3x3.
Now if you scale up the 2x2 to the 3x3, you'd think you'd be ok, because the 3x3 is bigger, but what do you do with the middle pixel? Which corner's color does it get?
if you choose any of the 4 original pixels, you distort the image, so the only choice is a blurred mix of all 4 colors. It's a mess.
This is what happens when apple tries to display a 1920x1200 resolution desktop on a 2880x1800 resolution screen.
It *****.
As a photographer all I can say is...
no thanks.
I'm waiting for a 17" macbook pro with a decent native resolution, or it's time for another brand of computer.

Return from ALV Grid to Selection screen

hi,
I want to go back from ALV grid to selection screen.
I am using the following code:

Hi,
My grid name is grid1.
I tried with :
DATA grid1 TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_GLOBALS_FROM_SLVC_FULLSCR'
IMPORTING
e_grid = grid1.
CALL METHOD grid1->check_changed_data.
CALL METHOD grid1->refresh_table_display.
LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
Even, I tried with declaring another grid : grid2

ITunes purchased movies do not run on macbook pro retina display - Error message: HDCP not supported.

Hello community,
If i try to play a iTunes purchased movie on may Macbook Pro 15 Retina, a Error message comes up "HDCP not supported". I try to run it on the notebook screen, I have not plugged in any external device (monitor, beamer..).
Full Error message in german:
Der gewählte Film kann auf dem angeschlossenen Bildschirm nicht wiedergegeben werden.
Dieser Film kann nur auf Bildschirmen wiedergegeben werden, die HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) unterstützen.
Any ideas?

I had this same problem. What worked for me- not sure which one did it, but I went to System Preferences-Displays, and I turned off "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" and I also changed my resolution from "Best for retina display" to scaled "More Space". The other scaling options seemed to do similar.

Symbol isolation mode, the pixel grid is not aligned to the ruler.

If you create a symbol that is pixel perfect, exit out of the symbol and go back in, the pixels bleed into each other because the pixel grid is not aligned correctly. Instead it is aligned to the global document grid which the symbol content is not placed in. It makes no sense to align the pixel grid to the global coordinates when the content by definition is not present in it.
This makes it impossible to use symbols to edit pixel perfect objects because any editing other than the original creation does not display pixels but pixel bleeds.
This is a valid bug in Illustrator CS6. Please specify:
1. Do you understand what I am specifying? If you do not I will provide images as I wish to resolve this functionality.
2. Please specify if it has been fixed in Illustrator CC. I do not have an available Win7 installation to test CC but if it is I will acquire one.

Thank you submitted. Input from Adobe's developers or developer relations representatives on this forum to expedite a solution to this bug would be greatly appreciated. As Adobe's products are now on a subscription one would hope it's product roadmap would accelerate with regards to Illustrator considering the necessity of Vector graphics in a market with multiple largely varying resolutions.
If you create a symbol that is pixel perfect, exit out of the symbol and go into Symbol edit mode (from the Symbol Panel or when a symbol's dimensions have been modified) the Pixel Preview grid is not aligned correctly. The Pixel Preview grid is nonsensically aligned to the document's coordinates. It makes no sense to align the Pixel Preview grid to the document's coordinates in symbol edit mode as it causes an inability to see the Pixel Preview without bleeding.
This makes it impossible to use symbols to edit pixel perfect objects because any editing other than the original creation does not display pixels but pixel bleeds.
Again the fundamental issue is that: There is no reason to align the Symbol Edit mode to the global Pixel Preview grid. The Pixel Preview grid should align to the Symbol coordinates.
http://i.imgur.com/KB2CdEx.jpg
The screenshot is in Pixel Preview. Moving the contents of the Symbol in Edit mode from it's correct position to temporarily align to the Preview Pixel grid is incorrect:
1. Because you just moved the correctly placed contents. The Symbol placed in it's parent to prevent pixel bleeding is now incorrect.
2. On a subsequent edit it would be misaligned because as specified, Illustrator aligns the contents of Symbol editing mode nonsensically to the global Pixel Preview grid.
With regards to Align to Pixel grid
1. This is a bug regardless of improvements to Align to Pixel to facilitate an acceptable workflow.
2. Align to pixel grid is not an acceptable workflow:
a. Not possible to place path vertices in the middle of a pixel to facilitate pixel strokes.
b. Mangles rounded corners.
d. It is not prudent to rely on an arbitrary algorithm with regards to forward or backward compatability in creating anything, considering the possibility of mangling and/or changed behavior as specified above.
The workflow to create pixel perfect UI elements is to position vertices absolutetly.

Line weight changes when using Align to Pixel grid

When I select Align to Pixel Grid in the Transform Panel, I see line weight changes occur. I try to change the line weight in the either the Stroke or Appearance panel and it will not change, no layers locked, any ideas how to change the line weight?

... I noticed that the line increases from 0.5pt to 1pt mainly (although not always) on straight lines, anything with a bezier curve seems to remain as 0.5pt.
Just try this, with snap to pixel grid on, create 10 pixel long straight horizontal 1pt line with the pen or line tool. You won't be able to change the stroke weight to other than whole numbers. But if you rotate the line with only 0.01 degrees by typing this for rotation in the Transform panel, then you can change the stroke weight to 1.25 for example. When creating artworks for for screen display always verify the result with View > Pixel Preview turned on.

...I only referred to Photoshop to illustrate the behaviour - vector tools aside, everything you do in Photoshop has to be whole pixels
As I said, Photoshop doesn't have snap to pixel grid feature like Illustrator. You can easily create fuzzy lines in Photoshop if you are not drawing them precisely in the middle of the pixels. To check what I'm talking about try this In Photoshop, create a new document with a very small pixel dimensions like 20 x 20 pixels and zoom to the maximum 3200% to see clearly the result. Fill the image with light gray color so you can see the pixels when View > Show Pixel grid is on. Then with black color try drawing a straight line with any tool that creates pixels like a hard brush or the line tool used in pixel mode, and try using constraints like holding Shift while dragging. You will see that unless you draw the lines exactly in the middle of the pixels it will be fuzzy and not clean. The only way to ensure not fuzzy lines in Photoshop is to turn off the anti-aliasing. You do this by unchecking the anti-alias for tools that have this option and instead of burshes use the pencil tool (which is brush without anti-aliasing). And Illustrator works the same too if you turn off Anti-aliased Artwork in its general section of the preferences and view the result with View > Pixel Preview, you don't need to have the Align to Pixel Grid on, the aliased result will be the same like in Photoshop.

PS CC checkerboard pixel grid doesn't display correctly

Hi,
When I try to change checkerboard's grid size to small from preferences > transparency and gamut, it displays bigger pixels than it should. I need 1px grid checkerboard but it shows bigger checkerboard pixels. I have checked screen resolution should be ok. I've got Macbook Pro, Yosemite 10.10.2. And I'm using two screens and both has the same problem. If someone has had the same problems, I'd love to hear how to solve this. Thank you.

This is the Checkerboard set to Large/Dark with View > Pixel Grid set on.
The checkerboard does not go to one pixel per check.

How do InDesign documents compare on retina and non-retina screens?

I've heard that InDesign looks bad on retina screens, but I don't live near a mac dealer and I can't see any photos anywhere to judge for myself.
Does anyone have any photos which could show how it compares to a non-retina mac?

Hi Anubha,
I do not understand what you said below.
I am running Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 9.5.5. I do not remember whether it came with Photoshop or InDesign.
When I open Photoshop, it opens without my having to follow any instructions to activate the software. As a matter of fact, I cannot find my Photoshop serial number anywhere in the Photoshop program itself. I do know it from my profile at Adobe.com. Are you suggesting I deactivate Photoshop on the new computer and then reactivate it using my serial number? Will it reactivate?
When you say
"/Library/Application Support/Adobe" at the root level of the startup disk (not the Library folder inside a user's Home folder)
what do you mean? I do not have a startup disk. I have the original installation disk but that version of Photoshop has been updated a few times.
After staring at your instructions for a while, I realized that you might be talking about the Library/Application Support folders resident on my Macintosh HD, although why you called it a startup disk is unclear to me. IAC, I went into those folders and duly moved the three folders into a new folder I called “Acrob1” and restarted Adobe Acrobat 9 and got the following error message: “AMT Subsystem Failure The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall of call customer support.” with a small (6).
By undoing my actions I am back to the staus quo ante.
Now what?
Regards, Robert

Photoshop and Retina Screen

I have just bought a Macbook Pro with Retina Screen. When I am using Photoshop on it, it scales my photos down to twice the size. Now I learned that to get the right size of your pictures you will have to make Photoshop open i Low Resolution. But by doing this it (of course) doesn't look as sharp as it would in high resolution. Now my question is whether it is best to make your photos, gifs etc. in the low resolution or in the high/normal one. Does it still save your photos in high resolution when you opened them in low resolution, or will you have to use the high/normal resolution and then edit the pictures when they look much smaller?
Does a Retina Screen effect the quality of your things negatively?

Posting this here, in hope that it helps generate some answers.
I've been combing the web for a solution and nothing in site. I'm on MacBookPro Retina 15" running CS6 13.0.6.
Why can't Adobe PS render at same size as every other program? As a designer, 'lo-res mode' is not an option.
I'm attaching a screenshot of he SAME 480x480 IMAGE in photoshop, chrome and safari.
Can you imagine, as a web designer, how it's hard to work like this? There is no longer the 1:1 ratio that I get from CS6 on my iMac or PC.
Here's a screenshot of the SAME IMAGE on CS6 (at 200%) and Chrome (at 100%)... Pretty close!, but upon close examination, there's pixelation in CS6 side that's not there in the actual image. So, not comfortable with that workflow. I have relied on Photoshop as a pixel-perfect product for ~20yrs... now I can't use it on this machine.
I mean, even when I go to Help > Update ... the PS program's dialogue text is pixelated! Something is very 'off' here. Is this issue fixed in the CC version?
Need some answers, or it's time to look for new options.
Thanks!
David
