Retina MacBook Pro & CS5?

[Spicedham]

i installed cs5 on mine today and noticed the UI looks a little fuzzy because the icons were made for a smaller resolution. performance wise its really good and the imaging that's being worked on looks fine.

Is there actually a chance that the old versions of Creative Suite look actually BETTER on the RMBP than the brand new cs6 interface in black?

Are there any benefits of running CS6 on a Mac vs. a PC?

I only skimmed through this thread and hope I didn't overlook anything on Adobe's update plans. I have read that Adobe will only update CS6 for retina displays, not CS5 and older. In other words, in order to take advantage of the retina display, it will be necessary to get CS6. Adobe only stated that the update will be available 'sometime later this year.'

I just got a MacBookPro Retina and most of my work is done in Illustrator.

I know that the interface should look blurry including the images you work with, but i can't understand why typography (vecotrs) is all blurry. Does everybody have the same problem with Illustrator CS5.

Is there any solution to optimize the typography, otherwise you almost cannot work with this laptop which is meant for designers...

I use CS3 on a PC professionally and had a devil of a time making it work with Windows 7 64-bit. I'd be very concerned about having the retina display. It's hard enough to get the display of ANY computer to equal print output - color, brightness, saturation (especially), etc. It has to be set up so what you see on the screen is what is printed.

Man, if you are professional graphic designer and you mostly do images to be printed you should definitely have a professional calibrated display (i doubt any laptop have one) ...

It is absolutely normal, that with standard display you get different colors on screen and on paper. Every single display is different and have different colors.

Yep. That's what has to be done. It's a laborious process involving the monitor, computer guts and CS3 itself - creating your own color mode that works across all CS3 programs, the computer and the printer(-s). Believe me, I don't change things very often - like operating systems and equipment.
