InDesign CS6 looks fuzzy with retina display

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with retina display and installed my CS6 software. Photoshop and Illustrator look fine, but InDesign looks pixelated. The menus and fonts look fuzzy. I can't work like this. I read there is a possibility to uncheck the "open in low resolution" box but haven't been able to actually uncheck it. Can someone help with this?

Unfortunately, you have to subscribe to CC to get retina InDesign & Acrobat.

  • Indesign CS6 looks unsharp, crappy and ugly on retina display

    Indesgin CS6 is the only application in CS6 Design suite that doesn't support HiDpi (RETINA) displays correctly.
    For Acorbat X I had to purchase Acrobat XI to get a Adobe premium (and expensive) product on par with the free PDF Reader or OSX Preview display qualities.
    For Indesgin CS6 I don't see such an option, since the CC subscription is no option for me (I don't need Indesign on a regular basis and refuse to pay a monthly fee if I need it for a few days... therefore I am much better off with the purchase model... especially for corporate tax laws in Germany).
    I hereby request an update for Indesign CS6 to support Retina. If this is not possible, I have to look for other options in my future purchases.
    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks for replying.
    No I did not come just to rant. I came for a solution on how unexpectedly ugly (and here andthere unreadable, as in images) ID CS6 looked on my retina MBP.
    And no, I do not feel better. I feel screwed. I have invested a large amount of time and effort in getting the book done in ID (I even thanked Peter Spier in my first edition for his help on this forum to solve a few serious issues I had).
    And now I find out that if I want to continue with ID, I need to upgrade to a construct where I need to perpetually pay a fee or lose access to my own work. I feel Adobe is trying to get me ultimately locked in, and I do not like it. I like ID. I like how I could create a nice (some say beautiful) book. I hate having to say goodbye, but a perpetual lock in of this kind is a too high a price to pay.
    And yes, as it is now, I can take a one-month subscription to get access. But I have to pay that every time this occurs (think of small editorial changes that happen once in a while). And no guarantuees that this kind of short time or affordable pricing stays. Yes, it can all turn out well. But I am completely at the mercy of Adobe and that gives a pretty unfree feel to it all. It is a type of blackmail: pay or you won't have access to your own stuff anymore.
    This is not like my TV subscription (I can change provider without a hassle). This is like using a camera to record my family movies only to find out that the camera was cheap because I have to keep paying every time I want to access my own work for a future price that is uncertain. I will do it if I have to (if there is no reasonable alternative). And if I cannot find a reasonable alternative, that suggests from my perspective that Adobe is wielding monopoly power here. And I do not like that either.
    For many the price may be reasonable and I can understand many of the advantages. But the fact that I become completely dependent on whatever Adobe decides in the future is for me an unacceptable risk. Many people ignore risks. If this risk does not turn into reality they will be vindicated. If it does, they are screwed too.
    It would be OK if the subscription price was for regular updates and the version you have just keeps working. And if you do not subscribe, you need to pay the full amount if you need to update. But now it is, pay or be locked out.
    BTW, subscribing to just ID costs >$30/month over here.

  • CS6 problems on Macbook Pro with retina display

    I just bought a Macbook Pro with retina display and Adobe CS6. After installing CS6, I noticed everything is pixelated. Any popup or lettering or words are pixelated and so are the brushed. I am not just talking about the fonts, but any word in the program. I use the program at school and everything is crisp and clear. Are my settings wrong or is there an update I need?

    Its the creative suite w photoshop, illustrator, indesign etc. it's like that on all of them but I'm specifically talking about photoshop.

  • Is CS6 compatible with MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    I have CS4 and just installed it to my new MacBook Pro with Retina display and was upset to see that they don't configure. All of my application are blurry and pixelated. I am currently debating on downgrading to an older MacBook Pro without retina or trying to buy CS6. I can not afford Creative Cloud. I want to make sure that CS6 will work on my retina computer before making that investment. Does anyone have experience using CS6 on a new retina display?

    The update for a Mac retina display requires a subscription to InDesign CC. It is not and will not be available for InDesign CS6, which will not be getting significant updates.

  • Looking at Refurb MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display... Which is best for video editing?

    Hi all,
    I'm looking at replacing my current 2010 MacBook Pro with something newer. I do quite a bit of video editing with Final Cut Pro X and some webdesign in Dreamweaver CS6 or Wordpress on Chrome. I need something that will be able to render the Final Cut videos. I'm looking at the refurb 2012 MacBook Pro 13" with retina display, an i5 and 8GB of ram, OR a 2013 13" with 4GB of ram and the Intel Iris Graphics... Which is better? I've heard really great things about the Intel Iris Graphics, but is having the 8GB of RAM more important?
    Thanks for your help!

    I would think if you are going to run both of those programs at the same time, or even one at a time, a system with discrete graphic would be a better fit for you.
    The next question is if you are doing web design do you really need a retina display. At this time only apple has them so everyother computer viewing your web designs wouldn't see the difference, if there is any to begin with.

  • Flash Builder looks blurry on Macbook Pro with Retina displays

    Hello,
    Flash Builder interface looks blurry on MacBook Pro with Retina displays.
    Here is the screenshot:

    Expand the image to the actual size, and notice that Flash Builder interface looks blurry.
    Please fix this issue.

    I was having the same issue - couldn't believe my eyes on how horrible and fuzzy Flash Builder looked on my new Macbook Pro w Retina.  Was suffering through it for the past week and just found this work around that someone figured out for Eclipse that also works on Flash Builder (guess b/c it's built on Eclipse).  Here's the link to the bug report that shows the work around (Thanks to Brad Hudgeons): 
    https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=382972
    here's a cut and paste from the bug report in case the above url gets removed:
    Here's the workaround:  Do "Show package contents" on the Eclipse.app.  Edit Contents/Info.plist.  Just above  </dict> </plist>  Place this:  <key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key> <true/>
    Instead of Eclipse, show package contents on Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app.   After you edit the Info.plist file, go back up to the Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app and duplicate it.  It will create a Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 copy.app.  Delete your original Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 and rename the Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 copy.app to Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app.  Then launch Flash Builder - you should see text that is much clearer.  The graphics on the ui are still blurry but at least the text should be crisp.

  • I just bought a 13inch mac book with retina display. When Im using adobe illustrator or photoshop, the fonts and designs look pixelated! How can I fix this?

    I just bought a 13inch mac book with retina display.
    2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with 3MB shared L3 cache. Version 10.9.4 / OS X Mavericks
    When Im using adobe illustrator or photoshop, the fonts and designs look pixelated!
    How can I fix this?

    WOW!!
    That was great to hear.
    I have just read this tread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1626784?start=0&tstart=0
    So therefore I was worry about Illustrator which I use most of all programs.
    Thank you !!

  • InDesign not compatible with retina display

    I was just told by an Adobe rep on chat that NO versions of InDesign are compatible with retina display. How are people dealing with this?

    Thank you for the reply. I talked to 3 support reps who had to keep transferring me to get an answer. The final answer being "I am not on the development team so I only have this commitment for you." I think he meant "comment." This is so frustrating. My next question was if I could purchase InDesign CC separate, like not the whole CC package, but just the one program. I could not get an answer for this either. Does anyone know? Thanks again.

  • Photoshop CS6 is blurry or pixilated on mac book with retina display

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to a 13" macbook with retina display. Now most of my apps have blurry or pixilated text. I can handle that in most cases, the real problem comes in with photoshop CS6. I've updated to the latest version using the help menu in photoshop, but that did not seem to fix the problem. I've also read the you can get info on the photoshop app and uncheck open in low resolution. The only problem is that when I try to do this, finder won't let me uncheck the box and the text is light gray.
    Any suggestions?
    I'm running PHOTOSHOP 3.0 x64
    OS 10.10.1
    Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB
    Thanks

    InDesign has yet not came up with the retina display support update but yes we are going to have the support of retina display for most of the products eventually.

  • How can I tell the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display and the old MacBook Pro with retina display by looking

    I'm just wondering the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display which was just released in October 2013 and the old MacBook Pro with retina display.

    Thank you for the reply! As you said they looked exactly the same, so I'm not able to tell the differences just by looking, right? I'm thinking to buy a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display, but I'm not buying the MacBook in Apple Store, I'm buying it in other shops, how can know whether they are not selling me the old model of MacBook Pro with retina display?

  • Installing CS4 to Macbook Pro with Retina Display

    Hi, I just got a Macbook Pro with the Retina Display and I have tried installing CS4 to it, but apparently the version of adobe air does not exist. I do not know if this has anything to do with the flash storage since adobe products do not work with it. I installed CS4 to my iMac just fine. I read on another forum that CS4 is not compatible with the Macbook Pro with Retina Display and there were people who suggested installing CS6.
    However, I also read that adobe is just installing retina display support to the products in the upcoming Fall to some of the CS6 applications (not including InDesign, which I need). Should I switch to the Macbook Pro w/o Retina display?

    Adobe CS4 applications do not work properly with Mountain Lion 10.8. See table:
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    CS6 works fine. I believe Adobe updated CS6 to work better with retina display. Check at the Adobe web site:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog.html?promoid=KAWQI
    Should you switch or not is your decision.
