Photoshop vs. Retina display - my documents look double or half the size

When is Adobe going to deal with the retina display issue for doubling or halfing Photoshop document pixel displays? I have been searching for an answer and none seem to be found.

What Photoshop version are you using?

If they are saved on your iPad, they are as safe as anything else.

HT1695 My new iPad with Retina Display is not able to connect to the Wi-Fi of my new Time Capsule. It used to connect, but now it just spins and spins and never connects. I've tried rebooting everything many times.

My new iPad with Retina Display is not able to connect to the Wi-Fi of my new Time Capsule. It use to connect, but now it just spins and spins and never connects. I've tried rebooting everything many times.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Photoshop & Macbook Retina display

Does Photoshop support the new Macbook Pro Retina display?

Chris Cox wrote:
If the user hasn't changed the OS scaling preferences, then Photoshop on a retina display will look just like Photoshop on a non-retina display.
It just won't have smooth text and UI edges that the increased resolution offers, and the image won't be using the full resolution of the display because the OS will be doubling all the pixels automatically.
MacOS on the new machines offers several choices for how to scale applications, including several choices for dealing with apps that don't know about high resolution displays.
So what your writing is Apple realizes there is a problem running programs written for older low resolution displays. So they have programmed into their OSX system options to scale up application windows to simulate running on a lower resolution device. Things will appear larger and less sharp then they actually are. Whoop de do. Why pay for a retina display and not use its resolution. Scaling windows up in size is like using 1/4 the retina pixel for every pixel you display Apple scales it to use 4 of the retina display pixels so the pixels is as large as it would be on a 100dpi display. Just buy a normal lower resolution and don't have the overhead required to scale windows up to simulate 100dpi to use a 226dpi display as a 100dpi device. Waste of money and resources. Applications like Photoshop need to be changed or run on a 100dpi display.
Photoshop has no problem with images and high resolution displays. Photoshop scales image windows content all the time. Its second nature for us to zoom images and pan about them and also change the window size on screen. The only problem there is is that Photoshop can not zoom its Dialogs and Paletts and bars Photoshop at best offeres one, two or three size options for these and they were designed for displays that have a resolution around 100DPI. On a 226 or 326 DPI display these areas will be so physically small you will have difficulty reading the small text and making out which small icon your seeing within these areas.
I find all versions of Photoshop with the exception of CS6 quite useable on my 133DPI displays. The GUI is on the small side. With a magnifying glass or software magnifying glass to see the GUI I would think Photoshop would be useable on a retina display using its native 226Dpi resolution. Its the GUI physical pixel size that is a problem not the 226DPI resolution. If you double the resolution of a display the size of an object becomes 1/4 the size it was on the lower resolution display. If the displays pixel count is not increased the display will be 1/4 the size of the lower resolution display. let get Physical

Photoshop on Retina Display

I'm thinking to buying new Mac book pro but I've heard photoshop doesn't look very well on the retina display.
Is it true??
I use CS6 mainly but also use CS5 sometime.
Someone said there is a free update for CS6, so what happened CS5?
Can't I use CS5 on the monitor?

I believe CS6 has retina support. Neither CS5, or any other old version of Photoshop will ever have Retina Support.
As to how PS looks on a Retina screen, I believe it is OK for photo editing, but there are issues if you are a web developer - for obvious reasons.
I am sure someone with actual experience will be along to tell you more.

View images at 100% in photoshop on retina display does not work...

using photoshop:
I have a 15" new macbook retina display. If I want to view a photograph at 100% it does not 'size up'.
for example, If I open the same image on my desktop iMac, I see the image in all its 100% glory, so I can work on it in photoshop.
If I view 100% on retina display the image is tiny ( not 100% )
I never had this problem on my older macbook, so why is it happening and can it be fixed?
My first though was that because there are 'more' pixels, the image is 100% BUT looks smaller on screen for some reason due to pixel count...
Thank you in advance for any help!
cheers

Hi Nealeh
Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
The scenario is:- say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
"Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
So technology is not my friend today!

Photoshop and Retina display

I seem to be unable to use PS 5.5 on my new machine. If I open a file the items like Layers, Channels, etc. might or might not be visible but the actual file seems to be somewhere else.

So I will start looking now for a Photoshop program which will work properly with the Retina.
The professional version of Photoshop does support the Retina display. But that's probably too expensive. However, Elements is based on the pro version so probably a future Elements version will support the Retina, but no one knows when that will come out.

MacBook pro retina display is not turning on even though the computer is on.

My Mac book pro retina display has a solid black screen. I can hold the power button down to turn it on and off, but the screen never activates.

HT3142 I clicked the double arrows and the size of the screen covered the entire screen. how can I go back to smaller screen where I can wsee the time and icons and everything in one look?

I clicked the double arrow and the screen enlarged and covered everything. now I cannot see the time and icons etc. how can I control the size of my display screen?

Press the ESC key or push the cursor all the way to the top of the screen to reveal the menubar. Click on that same gadget to return to normal size.

Pages 09 document files are 4 x the size of the same doc saved in Word?

I noticed that if I save a document in Pages 09 native format, it is about 4 times the size as the same document saved as a Word document. None of the documents that I'm working on have graphics, fancy backgrounds or mixed fonts. They are simple one page business letters.
Any thoughts on this a greatly appreciated.
Bud James

I have had concerns about this very same issue. I noticed that a 1 page document of plain text in Pages 09 took up 128KB of space, whereas if I saved the same document to Word 2004 it was 24KB. However it is in fact true that the larger the document the more efficient it is. A 2 page text document in Pages 09 was 168KB. If I add my 1 page document to the end of my 2 page document, the total size of the new document in Pages 09 is 200KB.
Here's the kicker: I had a 32-page Word 2004 document (plain text) that occupied 220KB of disk space. When I opened it in Pages and saved it as a Pages 09 doc, it was 160KB, which obviously is smaller than the Word doc, but also is smaller than the 2 page document I created with Pages 09! Obviously Pages is more efficient than Word with large documents, but a lot less efficient with small documents.
The problem is, many of us write a lot of small documents-- notes, letters, etc. I am concerned that my laptop's hard disk space (only 120 GB total) will get used up a lot quicker with Pages than with Word. This makes me very reluctant to use Pages on a regular basis.
(I can anticipate the response: Get a big hard drive and quit complaining! But still...).

Will the MacBook Pro w/retina display continue to download a file after the screensaver comes on?

does the Mac book Pro w/ retina continue to download a file after the screensaver comes on?

Hi scootsmama,
Network connections should still continue if the computer has only gone to the screensaver or display sleep. On a portable machine, when the machine goes to sleep it closes the network connection. You may find the following article helpful:
What happens when the Mac goes to sleep (not just into idle mode or display sleep)?
On all Macs:
The microprocessor goes into a low-power mode
Video output is turned off, and a connected display may turn off or enter its own idle state
Apple-supplied hard disks spin down; third-party hard disks may spin down
On portable Macs:
The Ethernet port turns off, if applicable (see note below)
Expansion card slots turn off
The built-in modem, if present, turns off (see note below)
An AirPort card, if present, turns off (see note below)
The USB ports only responds to the power key on an external keyboard (see below)
The optical media drive, if present, spins down
Audio input and output turns off
Keyboard illumination, if a feature of your portable computer, turns off
A computer uses considerably less power when in sleep mode than when awake. The computer will continue to power RAM in sleep mode, so that whatever was in RAM when the computer went to sleep will still be there when the computer wakes. This also means that computers with more RAM use slightly more power in sleep mode.
Note: Portable computers have no network connectivity when in sleep mode, but can wake if the Energy Saver option "Wake for network access" is enabled. If you wish to use file sharing or don't want to interrupt your Internet connection, you should not manually put the computer to sleep, and you should drag the "Computer sleep" slider to Never.

Will retina display support in Photoshop be part of a regular, free update?

Will retina display support in Photoshop be part of a regular, free update or will it be part of a new version upgrade?

Anyone who knows about future release plans will be bound not to tell.
I don't have one, but from what I've read the current version already works with the Retina display - it's just that is uses the high density display pixels in blocks of 2x2 (pixel doubling).
Is this insufficient for your needs? Is your desire just to see prettier fonts and icons, or maybe a bit richer looking document preview?
I was reading something the other day that said the mouse only moves in 2 pixel increments horizontally and vertically anyway on a Mac equipped with a Retina display, so the Apple implementation is not completely like having a double resolution display.

Photoshop resolution on Macbook Pro 15" Retina display too small

I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%)
If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display
Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see?
There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light.

Well that certainly helps in terms of making the image larger – only problem is with the low resolution there's a loss of clarity and pixelisation of the image; so not the same level of quality...
In System Preferences/Display, what resolution do you have your screen set to? Try changing that also to see if the two settings can work together. Also, since the vast majority of users (Mac or PC) don't have Retina Displays, isn't what you're seeing with Low Resolution checked in Photoshop closer to what most people will see? Remember that Apple's software, such as Safari, have been upgraded to take full advantage of the rMBP display; most other browsers, especially in Windows, haven't.
And if you want to tinker with the rMBP's resolution even further, check out "Eye-Friendly" in the App Store.
