Does Photoshop work well with retina display?

I am returning a PC notebook because Photoshop UI is too tiny for practical use with hi res PC notebooks (crazy, but very true) . Before I buy an Apple (Macbook Pro), can someone please confirm that Photoshop works well with retina display monitors? I need reassurance before I waste my time and money on another laptop. Adobe has already cost me hundreds in restocking fees for a notebook Photoshop will not support.

Im hoping to clear up some confusion with regards to Retina display support in Photoshop CS6. In December, Adobe released Photoshop update version 13.0.3 (for Mac perpetual customers) and version 13.1.1 (for Creative Cloud members, Mac and Windows). So, if you have PSCS6 – through either the perpetual (“box copy”) or Adobe Creative Cloud membership (“subscription”), and you run the updater, you will have Retina support. Here’s how to get the update:
1. In Photoshop, choose Help > Updates.
2. The Adobe Application Manager will launch. Select Adobe Photoshop CS6 and choose Update.
How to confirm that the Update worked
1. In Photoshop, choose Help > About Photoshop (Win), or Photoshop > About Photoshop (Mac)
2. For Mac perpetual customers, the version at the top should be Version: 13.0.3
3. For Win/Mac Creative Cloud members, the version at the top should be Version: 13.1.1

Does Lightroom work well with hiDPI Windows 8.1 touchscreen ultrabooks?

Hi all,
My old laptop is on the fritz, shopping for a new one.
Apart from the Web, the application I use the most is Lightroom.
I've been interested in the nice new ultrabooks, but I'm wondering: does Lightroom work well with hiDPI Windows 8.1 touchscreen ultrabooks?
Is hiDPI advantageous, or actually annoying?
What can you actually use touch for in Lightroom, and does it improve your workflow?
Thanks kindly!

I am not 100% sure whether lightroom supports HiDPI on windows but on Mac OS X it is absolutely fantastic (I use a retina MBP). So I would see if you can try it out somewhere. My guess is that Lightroom supports it on Windows too and then I can highly recommend it.
No clue if touch works well or not for Lightroom. My guess is not as almost always using touch in applications that were not designed for it is very kludgey.

Photoshop Elements 11 with retina display?

I just ordered Photoshop Elements 11 for my new Macbook Pro with retina display, but based on the discussion here, I am worried that it might not work correctly. Does anyone know if Elements 11 supports retina display? Thanks!

PSE11 is not optimized for retina display but it runs very well on the latest Mac Book Pro with fantastic clarity. As far as I know, only Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom are optimized. You could set up the PSE11 editor application as your external editor in iPhoto preferences. iPhoto is obviously optimized.

Does anyone knows what's the problem? Anyone knows how to fix it? I need help to fix this problem to get my work in AfterEffect, it is very hard to get things work it won't preview the preset. Thanks.

New FocusTraversalPolicy Mechanism Does Not Work Well With OO Designs

I would like to complain about the new focus traversal mechanism not working well with object-oriented GUI designs.
Specifically, we have many reusable panel classes that can be swapped in and out of reusable dialog classes. On some of these panels, the default focus traversal is not what is desirable, perhaps because one component on the right side of the window is just slightly higher than a component on the left side, maybe due to the component on the right having a label on top, and so the default focus goes to the component on the right instead of the left. So we have a need to be able to explicitly define the order of components in some panels.
If I try to define a focus traversal policy in the panel's constructor, a NullPointerException is thrown because the panel's focus cycle root is null (the panel has not been added to any dialog or frame yet).
If I try to associate a focus traversal policy at the dialog level, it would have to explicitly reference its child panels' inner components, which would break the encapsulation of the panels. It would also make it hard to have generic dialog classes into which various reusable panel objects can be swapped.
Someone suggested making each panel a focus cycle root. This makes it hard to "break out" of one panel to move on to the next panel in the dialog. Special keys would have to be assigned to try to cycle out, and these keys would have to be different than the normal traversal keys, making them inconsistent and nonintuitive to the user. Also, the focus policy would have to know if the dialog had more than one panel, what order the panels were in to know whether to cycle to the next panel or not, etc. This is a mess.
Does anyone have any idea how to get around these problems? I have tried using a global focus policy with a global hash map of prev/next component key-value pairs, but we are still running into trouble with some deeply nested tabbed dialogs. It's just not possible to always have the focus cycle root in existence at the point where you want to explicitly define traversal between two components, or when you are trying to establish the default component for a panel in a tabbed pane.
Has anyone else run into similar issues?

I agree completely. One of the popular consultants on this forum stated that the new focus mechanism was more versatile and only a little more complex. I would say it's more than a little complex given the trouble average programmers are having understanding how it works...at least at first...and after understanding it realizing that they are going to have type their fingers off to update their code. Oh, and the dread of maintaining this awful mess.
I'm currently having the same problem as you Robbie. Some of my reusable panels need special tab ordering...that's not usually a problem, in most programming environments, till now. Now I have to go around the world and back just to get my stupid cursor to be in the right place when I hit the tab key??!!! and special key mappings just to get out of a focus cycle...lame.
And how is an IDE graphical designer going to work with this? It's not, that's how...ok maybe if some kind person or company creates a custom focus traversal policy editor of some kind, I don't know.
Good grief Sun! We need something to help us meet our deadlines, not solutions that force us to spend 80% of our time customizing every stinking bit of UI functionality we need!!!
JTables are even worse. I've mastered most of the garbage that is JTable after many months of pain and I don't know how I'm going to help my peers understand them in any short amount of time. Most of them were Oracle Forms programmers, not that that is any great solution either. But they will likely have problems.
In conclusion, I wish I had chosen another UI technology for our new product client, and may yet.

No, the WiFi model does not have a GPS.

Does the MacBook Pro with retina display have a cd drive?

I'm looking into buying a new laptop. But I'm pretty sure that the Macbook with retina display doesn't have a cd drive. But the normal MacBook has one. Is this correct.

The retina display Macbook Pro does not have a cd drive. See the specs http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/

Does the MacBook Pro with Retina Display have a CD burner?

I ordered the MacBook Pro earlier this week without checking if it even had a CD burner. It's really not a big deal if it doesn't have one, but I would just like to know. Does anyone have a MacBook out there or knows whether or not the one with Retina Display has a CD Burner?!

No

Does the macbook pro with retina display get heated?

Hi I want to buy a macbook pro with retina display and i want to know more informations about it...like:-
1-does it get heated.
2-can I play any game without buying graphics chip.
3-does it run 64-bit download.
4-can order it with a CD slot.
5-can i upgrade to a new graphics chip.
6-if i will need a graphics chip what will i need it for.

1. It will if you run heavy-graphics processing such as HD-movie streaming or gaming. But the system should shut itself down instead of overheating. And if you keep the system on a flat hard surface (rather than on bedsheets), it should be able to keep itself cool enough to not overheat.
2. Any, no. Many more than a 13 in that only has integrated gragpics chip in CPU, yes.
3. Not sure what you mean.
4. No. You need an external optical drive.
5. No upgrades, not even RAM or flash storage.
6. Simple internet only requires basic graphics processing. Streaming HD movies from NetFlix requires faster graphics response. Gaming requires faster graphics response. Faster graphics response requires a better graphics chip than the one integrated into the CPU, one with its own RAM.

Does the MacBook Pro with Retina Display the same ghosting issue as the 15 inch?

I was thinking of buying a Refurbished MacBook Pro with Retina Display and heard that the 15 inch retinas have a ghosting problem. Does the 13 inch have this problem?

No

Does the MacBook Pro with Retina Display come with a CD slot?

Would anybody know if the MacBook Pro with Retina Display comes with a DVD slot to put a CD in?

If you read the specs on them you will discover that the MBP is way more powerful then the MBA. The big feature of the MBA is light weight. If you need a powerful computer then you want the MBP instead.

Does Photoshop Elements 12 editor on mac downloaded from app store work ok with retina display??

Hi.
I was wondering if any has purchased photoshop elements 12 editor via the app store for a mac and does it have the function to display it properly for a retina display screen. I have lightroom which works a treat as it has ability to work with this screen. I see on the adobe website that their version of elements 12 does not support retina display. Before i buy this product i would like to know if it works properly otherwise it will be a waste of money. I also have elements 11 via adobe themselves which i can use but the text does not look sharp, as it does't support retina display. Cheers

Hi Barbara I´ve done what you suggested and I´m having the same problem. Its freezed. Is there any way I can download the update? I´m
stuck with a Photoshop that doesnt work. Adobe says that they cant help without a serial number and apple doesnt let me update. This is the most bizarre I have lived in terms of software.

How does the MacBook Pro with Retina display scaled resolutions work?

How does it work? I think I have the basics figured out; is this correct (by this, I mean below)?
It is a scaled resolution (1/2 I think of the actual display resolution) therefore, the size of the pixels would be equivalent to 1440 x 900, but each pixel that is represented on screen is actually 4 pixels, therefore making it look sharper, so things are physically the same size if it would be an actual 1440 x 900 screen, but it looks sharper on the Retina display because each pixel is actually 4 pixels?
Thanks

Does Ipod touch come with Retina Display?

Looking to purchase a Ipod Touch 4th Generation. I have found the 8Gb listed having the Retina Display but when I look at the 32Gb it just says the LCD 960x640 Display nothing about the Retina Display. Wondering if someone can help me if it's on the 32 or not? Thanks!

Thanks so much! We have the 2G Ipod Touch which has been AMAZING but my son is getting new hearing aides and needs Bluetooth capabilites to listen to his music and the retina display will really help since he uses bifocals also. So I am trying to just be positive.. Thank you so very much for helping!
