In the current state of affairs, Adobe is planning an update to the CS Suite of Apps as well as Lightroom 4, to take advantage of the MacBook Pro Retina Display.
Currently, images in Photoshop and Lightroom render at a 4x pixel-doubled 1440x900 resolution, resulting in very pixellated images displayed in the apps. The toolbars and menu elements display this pixellation as well, and are promised to be fixed in an upcoming update. Currently, Photoshop and Lightroom will not allow you to work with 2880x1800 resolution images in their full 1:1 resolution, natively. A full-screen canvas in Photoshop is currently 1440x900 @ 100%, which displays images on the Retina display using 4 pixels per 1 pixel of image. This results in a high degree of image pixellation when previewing images or viewing images in both Photoshop and Lightroom. Even in Dreamweaver, text is not optimized for the Retina display and displays this pixellated-text.
So, my question is -- does anybody have any information or details as to when we can expect an update from Adobe to the CS6 / Lightroom suite, and what to expect in the update? I have been fervently checking Adobe's website daily as well as other websites, but I haven't had luck finding any information regarding a specified release date or timetable, or what Adobe plans to update and optimize in the Retina-update.
Hopefully somebody can shed some light on this. I know Adobe has previewed a "Native Retina" version of Photoshop CS6 at WWDC, and I know it is in the "works" -- just wondering if it will be July we are talking about, or August, or September? I'm really looking forward to doing some serious Photoshop editing on my Retina MacBook, but I can't stand to work with it, with the horrible pixellation displayed. It would be nice to be able to edit clean WSIWYG at native resolution, as Photoshop and Lightroom were designed to work.
