Powerpoint Slideshow Resolution on Retina Display

I have a 13" Macbook Pro with retina display, and I'm using Office 2011. When I edit my slides I get the full retina experience, but when I enter slideshow mode (with no external monitor or projector connected) I get poor resolution and blurry/aliased text. Is this normal? I expect to lose resolution when using an external monitor, but not when viewing slideshows on my laptop display.
Any info/advice gratefully received...

Same problem here. It's ridiculous that Microsoft fixes Office applications to support retina and then forget to add that support in slideshow mode. How is that even possible?!
Already converting many of my slidepacks to Keynote, but sometimes I need PowerPoint for customers…
Anyone have a solution yet?

  • Powerpoint slideshow mode supports retina display?

    Machine: Mid 2012 15" MBPro Retina
    OS: 10.8.4 (12E55)
    Application: MS Office 2011 14.3.5 (130515)
    Problem:
    In Normal view, the slides, text, images do show in crispy retina. However, most importantly in SlideShow mode, the slides all gone back to the blurry low resolution world!
    I am not sure if it only happens to me as I am so surprise that people are comfortable and not a single thread complaining about the SlideShow mode low resolution problem for almost a year ever since then! I hope it is only my problem, since that means you have the solution.
    Please help, as there are still areas of effects and flexibilities I needed from PPT over Keynotes (even I have been switching over ). And it is hard for me to convince my colleagues in getting a retina now and then. Thank you!

    People, I understand it is easy to reply without trying it by yourself and throwing in links. It would be nicer if you really understand the problem here.
    @Galaxy Falls  Your KB link was an year ago, and I know it stated it supports retina, but IT ISN'T!. Gosh. Current resolution? You using a PC? LOL
    Anyway, aiming to keep this thread free of confusion and assumptions, here are the screens.
    (UPDATED: Click on the images to show actual size, otherwise it looks crispy here after auto-fit!)
    Screen resolution setting:
    Powerpoint Version:
    (You can already tell the pixelated logo. LOL)
    In Edit mode:
    In Presentation Full-screen Mode:
    Since this forum will auto fit the images attachments and therefore the full-screen snap looks shape. Thus, below is a side-by-side comparison of the same pptx file in full screen presentation mode on PowerPoint (left) and Keynote (right).
    Last shot, in presenter view:
    By the way, I don't have time and not stupid enough creating a thread with faked screens. I just want to keep this thread with real problem, and real solution. Thanks.

  • Low resolution on retina display

    It seems that adobe muse opens in low resolution on retina display. I used to have the same problem with adobe acrobat, but in that case i solved the problem by following the procedure in: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1298242. That procedure, however, doesn't work with muse. Can somebody help me?

    Hi,
    Is there a fix for this?
    The UI is tiny on my Dell XPS 15 (retina display).
    Is there no option such as in photoshop for 'experimental features' to enlarge the UI by 200%?
    Currently it's unusable on a retina display.
    Thanks.

  • Photoshop Resolution for Retina Display

    Hi,
    I am a iPhone/iPad UI designer. I have a question that I wanted to solve for a long time. I have created a graphics for native apps,i.e. 300x180 px with 72 ppi resolutions. Also created the same graphics 300x180 px dimension with 326ppi. For retina display will the both images be treated same? Is there will be any blurryness when zoom?
    I mean to say when I suppose to send the assets of the apps to developers 326ppi resulution is necessary? or 72ppi will create same effects with the same pixel dimension?
    Please find the attachments.
    Thanks in advance.
    72 ppi

  • Images for retina display still unclear

    I just published my first site in muse, and I used a bunch of thumbnails made from photoshop buttons. For the desktop version, they are all 300x169. For the mobile version, I made them all 600x338 and then transformed them to 300x169 in Muse. I did this thinking it would be enough resolution for retina displays, but when I view it on my iPhone 6, they don't seem clear. When I email the same files to myself and open them on my iPhone, they are clear, but not on my published page. What did I do wrong?

    vega9, thanks for the info via private message.
    I expect the manually added meta tag for width was the incorrect solution to the problem. In general if a page is resizing incorrectly on phone or tablet devices, it's caused by content being outside the width of the page. Having content outside the page is often accidental (i.e. an empty text frame, the transparent area of a widget or container protruding beyond the page edge, etc) and easily corrected.
    As of the images, they are crisp 2x retina images. If you zoom in on the crisp edges and see the stair steps of pixelation, in your case I believe that's due to the limitations of creating a smooth looking edge when the authoring application of the graphic doesn't know the background color.
    The anti-aliasing approach used to create a very smooth looking edge on an LCD display requires knowing the background color. If you create a transparent PNG the edges can't use optimal anti-aliasing because the colors of the pixels that will behind the edges are not known. This results in the edges using a color agnostic approach to anti-aliasing, which is far better than no anti-aliasing but noticeably worse than LCD anti-aliasing.
    The short answer is, bake the background color into your images when you can and set an opaque background fill on text frames that use System Fonts. If you create a version of your logo that's an opaque image with the blue background baked in, the edges will be sharper. (Note that you'll want to turn off the automatic opaque PNG to JPEG conversion in Site Properties in Muse to avoid JPEG compression artifacts around the sharp edges. Or make a single pixel in the original PNG slightly transparent, 99% opaque, in order to prevent Muse from converting the image to JPEG during output.)

  • Retina Display Support for Slideshow and Web Modules?

    Hello,
    I have been working on a set of images from a recent vacation and created a web gallery to display them.  I am using a Retina MacBook Pro and I noticed that when loaded in the browser (Safari), the gallery images look slightly blurry - similar to "non-retina" prepared images.  I also created a slideshow in the slideshow module and they look the same.
    Can someone tell me if this is due to the fact that Lightroom is not rendering the preview images to be compatible with retina (HiDPI) support?
    I'm very disappointed that I have invested in such an expensive piece of hardware and I'm getting such blurry looking images.
    Thanks for the help.

    Retina-display compatible image is just a fancy term for high resolution image. It looks blurry because of the upscaling. If you want it to look good, export it at higher resolution, for example 2048×1536px for the ipad screen size.

  • 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.

  • How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?

    How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

  • How do I uncheck the "open in low resolution" box for Acrobat Pro 10.1.10 in a MBP with retina display?

    I have the "open in low resolution" box checked by default and I can not uncheck it because it is shaded out. I already tried the "uninstall Acrobat, delete the 'com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist' file, and reinstall"  solution, but it did not work. I am using Adobe CS6, acrobat pro 10.1.10, macbook pro w/ retina display, and OS X 10.9.4.

    I don't think Acrobat 10 is capable of that. Only the very latest Acrobat 11 update has some concessions for Retina displays.

  • CS6 resolution on Mac Book Pro Retina Display

    The resolution for all CS6 programs on mac book pro retina is horrific. Will there be updates?! I am quite frustrated that I can barely see any of my type in Indesign.

    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.

  • Highest resolution for external display for late 2012 retina?

    I have a 15" late 2012 MBP with retina display.  I'd like to get an external monitor but I'm not sure about the highest resolution for an external display this Mac will support.  It looks like the 4K displays with only work with later models.  So what are you using and how do you like it?
    Thanks
    Amy

    Yes, the 2012 MBP w/ Retina Display will support an external 4K display (using the Thunderbolt/mini display port)

  • Brand new MacBook Pro w/Retina Display, PSE11 looks like a mess, bad resolution, pixelated fonts and pictures, is there a fix for this?  This is a major, major issue for me as I use PSE all...the...time!  Thx.

    Just purchased a brand new MBP, and all programs look awesome on it except the one software program where crisp display is required - PSE11.  I really need to know my options, is this a fix in the near future?  Is PSE12 retina display friendly?  Any other options?  Thank you.

    I am not a Mac user, but your problem is the same with other HDPI high resolution displays.
    See that discussion on the feedback forum:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/please_add_retina_support_to_photosh op_elements_11
    Nobody can tell if future versions will solve the problem, but don't expect a fix for PSE12.

    I completely disagree about the 'crisp display' requirement.  Photo editing on computers has its own requirements which do take into account the practical resolution of the display, its size and viewing distance and the fact that you have to work alternatively on the whole image or the pixel level. Working comfortably without straining your eyesight means a lot of things including display size and viewing distance (good : 24 to 27" at 80 - 100 cm) with optimal resolution : 1920 x 1200; good colour fidelity and absence of reflections.
    If you compare side by side HDPi vs more standard displays, you won't see the difference in a normal editing session, only if you look closely for a long time at a still image.
    Standard displays are crisp enough, don't be fooled by the marketing trick of the higher figures. Even 1920 x 1200 resolution is more than enough for a 15" display. Spend the price difference on a good and comfortable. external display. Make use of the shortcuts to quickly zoom and pan in your images.

  • Is the retina display 4k resolution?

    I have the 13in macbook pro with retina display. Apple says it has like millions of pixels but in terms of video, is it 4k? I know its higher than 1080, I would like to know what exactly it is. Thanks!

    It tells you the native resolution on the MacBook Pro Tech Specs page:
    http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
    For the 13", it says "Native resolution: 2560 by 1600 pixels..." (The 15" is 2880 by 1800 pixels.)
    So neither has enough pixels on the built-in display to fit any of the multiple definitions of 4K used in video. However, the 15" can drive an external 4K display, not sure about the 13".
    Laptops with a 4K display are very rare. There is a new one by Toshiba, but it currently has too many compromises. If Apple does one they will wait until it can be done right.
