Hello, actually the “Retina support” has only affected the text in Ps an Ai, not the graphic….! with all respect for you guys, Com on Adobe…! Without that i know so much about it, i would gueis that it can`t be so hard to update the graphics? or is it just because you are going 100% for the Adobe Cloud Apps..?

It is an extreme huge problem for graphicers, that they only can see what they are doing in Ai in pixy resolution on Retina!

I hope for the best! And keep up the good the work!

P.s bannish flash ;-)

Adobe, please communicate your retina upgrade timeline. That is a reasonable request.

I AGREE 100% with your statement everything you just said. I bought the 15′ MBP retina of design work using adobe products. I am completely disappointed with the way it looks on screen. especially in Illustrator. It’s a shame when fonts and graphics are all blurry in a vector program.

The canvas itself is not retina, so text and other UI style elements that need pixel precision look crap.

Folks, for now you can run your desktops at 2880×1800 and get full retina display in the entire Creative Suite. Yes, you need glasses to see your icons and text, but you get full resolution graphics and it’s amazing.

You can’t use Photoshop?! I’m confused. Sure, it’s not Retina yet but it still works fine!

Any time now. Bought a 15″ MBP Retina display after the keynote featuring Photoshop. Still can’t use photoshop. Not a happy customer after forking over the cash for CS6. You know, a lot of premium Adobe customers also happen to be Apple customers. These two companies need to sort out their corporate bickering or both will lose. Apple needs to get Adobe the APIs early for testing and Adobe needs to get over flash. Let’s move on people.

I’ve noticed that if you install bootcamp on the retina and install CS6 on the windows side, you’re able to design at the full retina density.

Currently this is the only workaround I’ve found.

In many ways this is the wrong place for this discussion – I did not buy Photoshop CS6 for the retina-support. But I did buy the Macbook Retina to run Photoshop on it, and Photoshop had a very prominent placement in the Apple-keynote. It was clearly understood that Retina-support from Adobe would come soon. That is why we are disappointed. Because somewhere between the promises made by Apple and the delivery from Adobe something went wrong. Surely Adobe knew what the challenge was going to be – and still someone at Adobe allowed the keynote to present Photoshop as “almost ready”.

For me I am primarily disappointed by the lack of retina-support in InDesign. Type does look really really bad as it is right now.

While I do see a benefit to having Retina mode on the Mac, I make user interfaces for a living and only slightly agree with you on that. For mobile development, I have tools to preview direct to the devices in question. For previewing work on Retina Mac, I use Preview, as it simply shows the work at the full 1:1 retina resolution.

Yes, I do want retina mode on CS6. Of course I do, and I understand there’s issues surrounding the development of art for interfaces. But I must admit, there’s a few bugs in CS6 that I would much rather see fixed before worrying about Retina. Retina mode will come soon I’m sure. It’s the last month of the year soon and I suspect it’ll come out in that time. But I’m hoping bugs such as fixed aspect ratio (with SHIFT) shapes snapping to sub-pixels is fixed. Far more frustrating than a lack of HiPDPI mode. :)

Dave, when you use Photoshop to create user interfaces it is important that you are able to preview your work accurately. The most important thing is not stability and usability but being able to see what you are working on with accuracy.

Dear Adobe,

I know you and Apple have since divorced and moved on from a long and prosperous marriage, but please remember: you guys had kids out of this marriage—smart, passionate, and loyal kids, might I add. Who are the kids? Your customers.

So please ponder this question: Will you continue to take your time with Retina support due to a spat with your “Ex” (Apple), or will you think about what’s really important—your kids (loyal customers) and their future?

Let it marinate for a minute, but please don’t tarry too long. Your kids need you.
