Retina Display Support For Professional Edition?

I'm happy to see that the Enterprise users will be able to take advantage of the new Retina Display of the iPad...but what about us lowly Professional Edition users? Any idea on when we'll be able to start taking advantage of the higher-res screen?

That's terrific news! I had just gotten an e-mail from a competing company that publishes iPad magazines who said they're all set up for iPad 3 so it got me thinking. I saw the news release and was a bit sad that we were overlooked. Thanks for the speedy reply, as always!

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.

Retina display support for indesign urgently needed!

I know this is been said before but indesign really is unworkable for long periods of time without getting a headache. It is a program designed for text and when that text is unreadable it's a problem. Please please please update this soon.

I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but you could enable HiDPI as far ago as December 2011, see this article: http://www.cultofmac.com/132751/enable-retina-like-hidpi-display-modes-in-os-x-lion-video- how-to/
I know plenty of OS X and iOS developers and as soon as that info came out they a) started planning for the transition and b) pretty much knew how Apple will handle high-resolution displays (same as they did on iOS—by doing resolution doubling).
If Adobe was somehow "surprised" by this then they have a bunch of idiot managers on their InDesign team. And, no, it’s not Apple’s fault that Adobe’s apps don’t use Cocoa’s UI controls but are instead going for some weird ***, half-flash-half-not combination of a home grown UI framework monstrosity. They’ve been trying to have a "magic" UI framework that works across Windows and OS X for over a decade and it has never worked well (at least not on the Mac side). You’d think they'd learn it one day, but apparently idiot corporate policies like "Flash is an app development framework, now!" trump pragmatic engineering decisions.
As for the non UI, content rendering—if it works at 200% zoom, it works with HiDPI.
To be honest, seeing how little in terms of innovative features Illustrator gets I was really surprised by its retina support being out as quick—and InDesign’s being MIA.
It’s fascinating that Apple can make do with Cocoa which is at its core a UI framework that is over a decade old while Adobe has been fumbling around like a bunch of amateurs.
And, yes, this post was brought to you by having to work with InDesign over the weekend on a retina MacBook Pro and googling to see if or when an update is forthcoming. *grumble*

Adobe Brings Retina Display Support To Photoshop And Illustrator CS6 As A Free Update For All Users

Adobe Brings Retina Display Support To Photoshop And Illustrator CS6
As A Free Update For All Users..... if this is TRUE then how Do I get it. My CS is HORRIBLE visually. Does ANYONE know anything encouraging about this issue with Adobe CS and Retina Display???

As pointed out by John T Smith, you should post the questions in the correct forums to get swift replies. However, yes Adobe has made its promise good and the blog to that effect is here:

Good luck.

Retina Display Support in Photoshop Elements 12

I've just upgraded from version 9, mainly because I thought 12 would have Retina display support now, like CS6 does.
To my surprise, it doesn't! What's the deal here?
There are a *lot* of people buying MacBook Pros with retina displays, millions.
Is this going to be addressed in a patch soon? I'm not going to wait for version 13 otherwise, I will just return my copy to Amazon and get used to one of the alternatives on the App Store.
Please advise further. Thank you.

Adobe probably won’t say publically if or when PSE might support Retina, but they may be assuming people who have Retina displays also have the cash for Photoshop?
PSE12 does support 64-bit memory spaces on a Mac, finally, so maybe that is also a reason to upgrade to it, and also a reason why the programmers were too busy to worry about Retina just yet.
You could put in your request for Retina support on the feedback.photoshop.com area where Adobe supposedly monitors each discussion.

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.

Apps losing retina display support

I just upgraded my 2nd generation ipod touch to a new 5th generation. I have been downloading some apps I purchased on my 2g. Curiously enough, several of the apps I download don't have retina display support (Angry Birds is on of them). I can't seem to find a fix. Anyone else have this problem?

Very sure. In addition to the letter boxing, the app looks extremely grainy. It's like I am running an app that hasn't been updated since that iphone 4 was released (even though I am running that latest version of angry birds). I've tried reinstalling the app, to no avail.

Captivate and Macbook Pro Retina display support. When?

Hi there. Having just purchased a new MBP with retina display I was disappointed to find that Captivate 7 appeared not to support the display settings. It looks blocky and ill-defined compared to all the other programs, Powerpoint included. My web-search suggests that Captivate doesn't support the Retina display. Is this the case, and if so, when will Adobe support it?
Thanks in advance.
Nick

Hi Rossco,
You're right, the program works and the content produced is unaffected. My rationale to get the program work environment to be Retina compatible includes;
Visual clarity. For reading glasses wearers such as myself, the blockyness can be frustrating. But regardless of middle aged disability, it just looks better when a program is Retina compatible.
It's a major component of my work environment, so making the most of the computer's assets is important to me.
It (OK, this is the emotional statement Rossco ;-)) frustrates me that an Educational program fails to take advantage of a computer type very commonly used in Ed departments. And Retina is not new, nor a passing fad.
Adobe do commit to Retina compatibility, evidenced by Acrobat updated recently. Captivate please!!??
Best regards
Nick

Retina display support

Hello,
I used Adobe Fireworks CS6 on my MacBook Pro Mid 2009 and all was right. Now I bought MacBook Pro with retina display and I have problems with Fireworks UI. All, included created design is not so sharp like another applications. Exist any update for support retina displays?
Thank you for helping.

No. Fireworks is no longer updated or supported by Adobe, and development stopped in May 2013.

Which MacBook Pro w/ Retina to buy for Video Editing?

Hi, I am looking into buying a MacBook Pro for Video Editing. This is not my main machine because I already have an i7, 16GB RAM, GTX 760 2TB HDD machine at home. My home machine beasts through my daily editing but I am stumped on which MacBook is worth the money!
I am comparing the...
13" Retina with
i7
256 GB SSD
16GB RAM
Integrated Graphics
for $1849 (with EDU discount)
VS
15" Retina with
i7
512 GB SSD
16GB RAM
GT 750m with 2GB DDR5 Memory
for $2,479 (with EDU Discount)
I don't really care about the screen size, I'll be using thunderbolt storage anyways, I am mainly wondering if the GT 750m will make much of a difference in editing footage. Mainly AVCHD 1080p but also I'd like it to be able to handle 4k in small amounts. I would mainly use proxy's at that point but just in case. I also don't do a ton in After Effects, but may need to send some shots here and there of for VFX work. This is mainly for if I'm on the go and need to make an edit or I need to do photography work (Lightroom and Photoshop)
Thanks,
Cameron Gallagher

Both will work fine with 1080p AVCHD but you will notice an increase in performance simply because Premiere LOVES a good GPU and the 750M is a good one as far as laptops go. Yes, its more but if you're serious about performance go with the better GPU.
That being said...save a bit and go with this below (same as your 2nd option but cheaper):
Refurbished 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.5GHz Quad-core Intel i7 with Retina Display - Apple Store (U.S.)
It'll save you $400. Bam! Thank me later. Apple's refurbished program is top of the line. Comes fully warrantied and you can get apple care, etc. if you want as well. It's like buying it new. These refurbished computers are often just ones bought and then returned within a few days by customers trying things out and there's absolutely nothing wrong with them. They can basically be looked at like new.

MacBook Pro Retina Display Support ?

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina Display laptop, and would like to know when I can expect Adobe to upgrade the CS6 suite of apps to take advantage of the Retina display.

Don Quinn wrote:
Am I the only one confused why people buy into doubly dense displays and then want to dumb them down by making elements on them twice as large? That seems wasteful. Scoot your chair closer to the screen. I hold an iPhone 4 closer to my face than a 2nd gen iPod touch. It is no big deal. They look the same that way.
The retina display does not introduce a new issue. Dot pitch has been increasing for years. We see people that will adjust their LCDs to a non-native resolution (ie: running 1024x768 on a 1280x1024-capable display). Or they will adjust their system settings to display larger fonts. Instead of buying the right monitor for their needs and eyesight, they misuse an expensive display. I would love to have the pixels that they are not using. A pixel is a terrible thing to waste.
You show a complete lack of understanding of the problem, and what the Retina display brings to the table. It's not just a higher density display — it's roughly double the resolution. You even said it, but did you think it through? According to your suggestion, we should run the display at the double resolution and deal with half-sized UI elements. Can I say, "yuck!"? Just TRY to use Photoshop with buttons this small:
http://d.pr/i/LVTH (screenshot of Photoshop CS6 on my rMBP at the highest resolution) Squeeze that into a 15in. laptop screen and you'll see the problem.
Most are smaller than my mouse pointer. Some apps that don't support the display are completely unusable. I tried playing Team Fortress 2 soon after getting my rMBP and found that the settings UI is so small it's impossible. The doubled resolution isn't so we get more screen real estate — it's so we get super-crisp images and a level of detail in the photos and graphics we work on that parallels printed work. Hell, I'd settle for just getting the workspace Retina supported. I don't care if the UI is grainy, I just want my photos and prints to be crystal clear.
I'm STILL waiting on word (any word at all) from Adobe that even HINTS on Retina support. I refuse to purchase software because odds are, it'll be in 6.5 and I'll have to purchase all over again. I'd go Creative Cloud but I'm not paying $50/mo for ugly software from a company who could be a bit more loving to the consumer. Also, I just can't afford it. I'm unfortunately stuck waiting with just Pixelmator (which is Retina supported already... ahem) until Adobe says something. ANYTHING. Instead, you could hear a pin drop in the silence. WE JUST WANT TO KNOW

MBP vs. iMac Display: Better for Photo Editing?

Would anyone care to give their opinion of the display pros/cons of using a MBP vs. iMac for photo editing?
I have been considering getting a new iMac, and I would like to do photo editing (somewhere in the middle between professional and iPhoto). First I thought 20", but then I learned about the relatively poorer display quality. Then I thought 24", but still had concerns about gradients. Then I waited for the new (Penryn) iMacs, but it sounds like there hasn't been an obvious improvement in iMac display quality. Perhaps a MBP would be a better bet.
Thanks in advance.

The quick answer depends upon the quality of work you intend to do:
1) Are you a general amateur photographer? As long as you perform your own color calibration of the display, and NOT use the dull color profiles Apple provide, you're fine.
2) If you are a PROFESSIONAL performing color management on your images then the answer for BOTH the MacBook and MacBook Pro are NO. You are kidding yourself if you think you will ever get full accurate colors on their LCD displays.
All of Apple's LCD laptop displays have, up to this point, been only 6 bit color capable. A professional requires full 24 bit color, which is what the human eye is capable of seeing, which requires an 8 bit color capable display.
Note: 6 bit color = 262,144 colors. (It was incorrectly listed above). 8 bit color = 16,777,216 colors. This is a drastic difference. Apple use an FRC dithering method to fake the other colors, but this by no means equals real 'millions of colors' depth.
Do not use an iMac as the same 6-bit color depth remains the case. You must use either a VERIFIED 8-bit LCD display (note- one of the Apple Cinema Displays is ONLY 6-bit, so buyer beware), or use a CRT. The CRT still provides more colors than any LCD display, AND you don't have to worry about the viewing angle problem that plagues most LCD displays. (Shift your head up or down, right or left and you will see the contrast and color quality of lower quality LCD displays change. This ruins them for professional use).

Is the MacBook Pro with retina display good for gaming?

I was looking at the MacBooks and I was thinking about the one with retina display. I wanted to know if it was good for gaming also. Just something like skyrim or maybe WOW.

If you're not a heavy gamer, then yes it will be great.
I play WoW at full retina display with the performance I noted above - if you have trouble, you could always revert to 1440x900 just for WoW and Skyrim.
I know WoW lets you choose a resolution within the game so nothing wo worry about outside - not sure about Skyrim but maybe so?
I am a light gamer. I used to have a 2011 MBA, just an off the shelf model with no upgrades, and it played WoW very well for its size etc.
An iMac would be great too. For the price of a rMBP you could go for an iMac for games/home use and a base spec MBA for working on outside...?
However iMacs are pretty outdated atm - not allowed to say much on here but might wanna wait for something to happen...

Best display profile for video editing

Among the choices you see under Display Profile on a Mac, what is considered "best" choice for video editing, so that you can assess color, exposure, etc. in your footage as you edit? I have always used Adobe RGB (1998), but realize that I have no knowledge about whether that's a good choice.
What do the 'good' editors use (to differentiate them from guys like me)? Do top editors calibrate their monitors for video editing? Any insights into this would be greatly appreciated!
-- Mark Strand

what is considered "best" choice for video editing
there is only one setting for Final Cut; Generic RGB
This is an apple stipulation, its how Final Cut must be set up, choosing any other profile will cause problems with any out put files you create.
Do top editors calibrate their monitors for video
ICC colour management is designed and can only be used for still image files eg. so while you can calibrate a computer monitor it can only be used with still image files; TIFF CRW JPEG PSD. ICC profiles are not recognised by Final Cut Pro or QuickTime.
The colour management system used in video involves using video scopes, an accurate PAL or NTSC colour monitor and tools like the 3 way colour corrector.
