I can no longer use Photoshop for UI Design (PS CC + Retina display)

Since I bought the new MacBook Pro with retina display, Photoshop can no longer be an option for user interface design.
I'm runningn the last Photoshop CC update, and each file opens at 50% size compared to other standard displays, which makes working with old files frustrating. Besides, creating a new 1200 wide document to start a web design makes no sense (too small).
- View > 200% isn't a solution, things look pixelated.
- To increase the resolution from 72ppi to 220 (retina display) isn't a solution, it doesn't affect the document size
- Working with a document with 2x size can't be a solution: I should create everything with a 2x size (stroke, shadows, even rounded corners), which would push PS even more far away from being a tool that can be used for UI design.
Should we just expect that PS on a high-res display behave like that? I don't think so. Besides, the guys of Sketch App (a tool for UI design, that I'm currently working with) found a solution - the retina canvas option:
You can choose to see bitmap images pixelated, but still the vectors will look exactly like on the browser. By choosing to see the document at the same size but with more details, retina users can enjoy the power of the new MacBook while working on UI design.
Am I missing something? Should we expect this option in Photoshop too?

It upsets me to see that this was initially posted almost a year ago and there was no answer. There also seems to be no answer to various other questions about the same issue. Adobe do you care? I am already guessing that Apple doesn't. I know that Adobe has been at the top of this industry. Time for someone else to compete? This is a highly frustrating issue for UI and web designers.

    Can I exchange my iPad for another one with retina display with extra payment?

    Did you purchase it at an Apple Store?  If so, then you should be able ot have them look up the receipt in their system.  If you purchased it at another store, check their policies.  IIRC, Best Buy allows you to exchange items without a reciept, but they won't refund without one.  Other stores may have other policies.

  • I have recently purchased a Nikon D7100 and can no longer use Photoshop CS5 to process RAW files.What are my solutions ?

    I am sure this has been asked before for similar new camera buyers, but as I have made a sizeable investment in purchasing PS 5  less than one year ago, I expect ADOBE to have an upgrade available for my new Nikon D7100 camera.
    Other Software makers usually have upgrades available to download for new cameras not long after they are released.
    I have seen on some photography forums where other users of my camera model have asked the same question as myself without receiving  any positive advice other than to up grade to PS 6. A few suggestions do not work or are possibly illegal.
    Under consumer laws, in many countries, software makers are obliged to maintain support for a reasonable period of time after release.
    Come on Adobe, please help the many thousands of PS 5 and Lightroom users to use the Adobe software that they have purchased in good faith and we will move to PS 6 or 7 or 8 when we are ready.
    Can we please expect an answer to this problem any time soon ?

    Why did you purchase an obsolete version? One year ago Photoshop CS6 had already been out a while.
    According to this list
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    support for that camera was added with Camera Raw 7.4, which means CS6 at least.
    Come on Adobe, please help the many thousands of PS 5 and Lightroom users to use the Adobe software that they have purchased in good faith and we will move to PS 6 or 7 or 8 when we are ready.
    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
    Adobe is not in the habit of adding support for new cameras to obsolete versions of Camera Raw.
    But it offers the free DNG Converter.
    Edit: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows
    And camera makers are free to adopt DNG if they want to make their cameras’ output easily editable with non-proprietary software, but it seems many of them simply don’t want that.

  • Any begginers make money using photoshop for logo design etc?

    For example, on fiver, elance etc?

    Hello,
    I'm not a web designer, but I would recommend looking at Lynda.com as a resource. They have a number of free video links. If you subscribe to their (vast) video tutorial library, it is pretty reasonable on a month-to-month basis.

  • Can no longer run Photoshop Elements 12, Premier Elements 12 of Photoshop CC on iMac

    I have a mid-2011 iMac i7 quad processor 27" iMac and after Yosemite can no longer use Photoshop Elements 12, Premier Elements 12 of Photoshop CC on my iMac. I keep getting the following msg even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

    PSE 12 requires you to have an Internet Connection at least once when you are installing it so that you can register the product and activate it.  After this process is complete, you don't need Internet connection unless you want to update it on a periodic basis (say once every 6 weeks).  This is only for the updates; So if you are not bothered with updates then you don't need Internet Connection.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • Difficulty scanning slides on my Epson V600  running Lion, Adobe Photoshop CS6,  and can no longer use the Epson scan application or the plug in for Photoshop. Should I revert back to leopard in my time machine to finish scanning my family slides?

    I am running Lion 10.7.5, Adobe Photoshop CS6, scanning slides on my Epson V600 and can no longer use the scan application or the plug in for Photoshop. Should I revert back to leopard in my time machine to finish scanning my family slides?
    In 10.7 there is not a twain that works with Photoshop for importing with all the options needed to scan transparencies. I noticed that when I was scanning in October 2012 I was still using CS6 so somehow I was managing to be able to use all the scan features.
    They sell 2nd party software (VieScan and Silverscript)which I found to be just mimially OK and very hard to use.
    I just want to scan like I used to.
    Can I use time machine to go back to an earlier operating sysytem LEOPARD,  and then do my scans and then save the photos and them go back to the LION system?
    I spent 7 hours trying crazy solutions - downloading Windows CS2 Photoshop and then using a program so I could run it on the apple. Then I couldn't figure out how to put a plug in for the scanner in the stupid windows Photoshop program. Googgling the computer like a mad woman trying to ask questions. I am not giving up...
    Please help if you can...
    Thanks...

    I assume you've tried using Image Capture. Give VueScan a try.

  • Months of frustration - can no longer use my Droid Razr M for calls at home

    I'm hoping that a Verizon customer support person will see this and contact me. As detailed below, because of cell reception issues in my neighborhood and especially at my house, I can no longer use my phone to make or receive calls in this area. I have been patient while working with customer support for several months, but my patience is at an end. If I can't get an immediate fix for this problem, then I request that the early termination fee waived.
    I've attempted to work with Verizon customer support for the last many months regarding poor cell reception in my area of Durham, especially at home. I get excellent reception elsewhere. During calls, people frequently have problems hearing me (I'm tired of having to repeat myself so often) and calls are frequently dropped. There have been a few instances when a single conversation will be conducted over three or four separate calls because of drops. Walking around my house -- even trying to walk outside in hopes of getting a better signal -- makes the problem worse.
    Here's the kicker: I've found a temporary solution in using a $10 Tracfone that gives me great reception. I've relied upon it for most calls at home over the last 6 weeks or so.
    Since October, following different phone or web conversations with Verizon support and visits to local Verizon stores , I've had the Preferred Network Mode reset to LTE then later reset back to Global (neither change made a difference)  I've replaced the SIM card (made no difference), I've rec'd a replacement phone (no difference). During the visit to the Verizon store about a half mile from my house to get a new SIM card, one of the sales associates warned that I wouldn't be able to determine right away whether it made a difference since reception in the neighborhood was so bad.
    I most recently contacted customer support on Feb 8, I spoke with someone who reviewed the record of my calls and could see several drops. He encouraged me to use my Razr at home more often so that Verizon could have as much data as possible to troubleshoot the issue and asked that I call back in a week or two. .
    So I've been using the Razr more often but to great frustration. I've had business calls drop several times back on Feb 12 & 13, and multiple drops again on Feb 25. Other calls did not drop but people would often interrupt me to say that I was breaking up or fading out, so I'd have to move around my house or go outside or come back inside until they could hear me more clearly again.
    What makes this worse is I've had no luck getting back in touch with customer service the several times I've tried over the last 4 or 5 days. I've tried calling several times but end up hanging up after being on hold for several minutes and I've tried the Live Chat but always get the "all agents are busy" message. Have tried mornings mid day, evenings, but it makes no difference.
    So if I can't get an immediate fix for this problem, I would request that the early termination fee (I'm just shy of 13 months into a 2-year contract) be waived in light of the frustrations and the long period over which I've tried to work with Verizon to find a solution but without success.

    I'm adding screen shots taken from this afternoon showing connection that varied from non-existent to 1X.

    the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
    The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
    When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
    As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
    When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
    Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but  he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

  • Since iOS 8.1.1 I can no longer use my mail app.

    Since iOS 8.1.1 I can no longer use my mail app on my iPad Mini. The mail app opens and updates, however the screen does not respond to anything. Am rather stuck as to what to do. This is the Mail App that comes with the iPad Mini.
    I have tried to turn the iPad On/Off all to no avail. I don't really want to reset my iPad as this will cause more trouble than it is worth and will ultimately update the iPad to iOS 8.1.1 anyway. Do any of you have any suggestions that don't involve resetting the iPad ?
    Thanks All

    Before you delete your mail accounts, try giving your iPad a reset and force closing the mail app. It may clear up the glitch before you remove and add your info again
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
    Force close an app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
    If those don't fix it then try to remove and put your info back in.

  • Can multiple users use Photoshop CC on the same computer?

    My daughter has an account on my MBP and needs to use Photoshop for her Photography class.  This wasn't an issue with Photoshop CS6.  However, with Photoshop CC, it is asking her to purchase a Photoshop CC subscription.  Is there any way she can just use Photoshop CC from her account on my laptop?

    Is there a reason why she can not use photoshop using your account since your sharing the same computer?

  • Upgraded to Lion & can no longer finger swipe for/backwards between pages. Is there a fix for this?

    Title says it all. I just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, and can no longer use a finger swipe, whether one or 2 fingered, to move backwards an forwards between pages. I can still do so in Safari, but not in Firefox 5.01, my preferred browser, any longer. Doesn't matter if I try using one, two or more fingers
    Is there a fix for this? Thank you.

    If you download this program http://blog.boastr.net/?page_id=1722 (better touch tool), you can make your own swipe gestures.
    However, I have been able to three-finger swipe forward and back on webpages by going to ''system preferences'' > ''trackpad settings'' > ''more gestures''
    and checking the box at ''"swipe between pages"'' and selecting ''swipe left/right with 3 fingers''
