Photoshop CS6 drawing performance and MBP Retina 15 with Nvidia GT 650M

Hi, I've noticed that to get a significantly better drawing performace in Photoshop CS6 with a MacBook Pro 15" Retina Mid 2012 Nvidia GeForce GT 650M one has to start Photshop with a screen resolution set to "Best for Retina" then once Photoshop is running, to change the resolution to "Scaled" 1650x1080 or 1920x1200. Why ?
Are you aware of that isssue?
Any settings I should look at ?
Thanks for your help

Thanks. I've noticesd another detail that might help:
After doing the steps I mentionned earlier, the HUD colorpicker, the smooth zoom and the "red" brush shape that shows how hard the brush is, are no longer working/displayed.
Maybe the rescaling stops some GPU enabled features of the interface, thus leaving more "power" to the painting tools?

    Yes. Just make sure to turn off the intel graphics chip or else Photoshop won't use hardware accelerated features like 3D, swish pan, canvas rotation and so on...

    I have Photoshop CS6 Extended Students and Teachers Edition.  when I go into the Filter/Oil paint and try to use Oil Paint a notice comes up "This feature requires graphics processor acceleration.  Please Check Performance Preferences and verify that "Use Graphics Processor" is enabled.  When I go into Performance Preferences I get a notice "No GPU available with Photoshop Standard.  Is there any way I can add this feature to my Photoshop either by purchasing an addition or downloading something?

    Does you display adapter have a supported  GPU with at least 512MB of Vram? And do you have the latest device drivers install with Open GL support.  Use CS6 menu Help>System Info... use its copy button and paste the information in here.

    You need to run a platform swap:
    Order product | Platform, language swap
    Until it's through, you can use the trial version.

  • 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?

  • Ordering Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Student and Teacher Edition possible? or offline versions in general?

    Hello all,
    I wanted to buy the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Student and Teacher Edition which I would be eligible to buy
    but as it seems, the Paypal option in the adobe store  doesn´t seem to work.
    I already contacted the customer service "Kundendienst" but they told me that they don´t offer paypal - odd because as you can see it is on their own site..?
    Since I don´t own a creditcard nor do I ever want one *, I also asked for a secure and good payment method called "Lastschriftverfahren" so I could easily give adobe  money from my bank.
    that option also isn´t available.
    * http://www.golem.de/news/datenhack-adobe-warnt-deutsche-kunden-vor-kreditkartenmissbrauch- 1311-102806.html
    is there a way for a student to order a full offline version of Photoshop?
    I really don´t want to stand in the rain of that cloud.
    * http://www.golem.de/news/27-stunden-ausfall-adobe-creative-cloud-laesst-anwender-im-regen- stehen-1405-106542.html
    like being forced to stay of photoshop just because a hacker again compromised the adobe servers.
    I would be actually glad  to give money to adobe but what would be a possible way now?
    there are alternatives like Photoline, Corel and so on but I would love to try it with Adobe first.

    there is no specific trial for S&T. It's just the normal program. S&T is a licensing/ pricing thing, not some technical difference.

    My daughter just took a photography class at her H.S. and used Photoshop in that class.  How close would anybody guess that Photoshop CS6 Extended Student and Teacher Edition is to what she used.  I don't know the version of what she used.....

    Hi thritchie,
    You can check the version of Photoshop by launching it, and selecting 'About Photoshop' from the 'Help' Menu at the top.
