Or should I go with the 15?

I have been looking through threads and couldn't find an exact answer for this for my needs. Here they are in order of priority:

Photoshop (at various times, lots of layers and 3 or so different photoshop files open)
Lightweight vid editing (for on the go stuff, I have a powerful desktop at home)
Web design / coding (I assume the retina display will help greatly as I can have lots of text on the screen, side by side, and text clarity)
Gaming - pretty light as I have a desktop at home, main game would be DOTA2 or SC2
 
will the 13 not be powerful enough to handle photoshop / video editing?
 
15" for sure, especially doing any en/decoding which the dGPU will help significantly.
