Does anybody mind taking screenshots on the rmbp of any of the following:

After effects cs6
Speedgrade cs6
Premiere pro cs6

Make sure you include resolution etc... Is there a mode which is particularly good for eliminating blurryness? I'm about to cancel my order and get a normal mbp.. I just wish i could have a look at how bad it is

Sorry. I only have CS5.

What is your concern with CS6 and Retina Display?
 
I played with cs6 on a display macbook pro retina at the apple store, yes there is some pixelation within the UI, but when I took my eyes off the retina and looked at the same cs6 on a non-retina, I felt like the ENTIRE screen had the same form of pixelation. So yeah, some things are going to look boxy, like a non-hd channel on a hd tv, but not nearly that extreme, and also I hope adobe will update its entire lineup for retina soon (namely audition for me).

I would think that is coming.

It is less, but still quite a price tag. Thanks.

I'm running CS6 on my RMBP and it looks fine.

Really? Not blurry looking too much? What resolution settings are you running?

What programs are you using? Do you mind taking a SS if it's one of the ones I listed above?



My main concern is that the program will be blurry, and I will not be able to produce my best work. After Effects, Speedgrade, and Premiere Pro are my biggest concern. If my work in Premiere/AE looks like crap inside the application, I'm screwed. I couldn't care less if the buttons were a bit fuzzy, but the content itself needs to be 100%.

My suggestion, if it is an issue, us an external display until ADOBE brings Retina support.
 
Until Adobe updates CS6, I would stay from a retina display if you don't use an external monitor. Chances are it will look blurry and you might overcompensate and it will look horrible on all other monitors running at their native resolution.

I can definitely do with an external if the need arises. To be honest, that thought never really crossed my mind - as stupid as that sounds.

Thanks much, guys - Screen shots would still be appreciated!

Yeah, no kidding. I'm actually going to be overseas in Africa when it's due to be delivered. Go figure.

That stinks. I think you will love it though. Was finally able to snag one at a Best Buy on Friday.

I switch between the 1920 x 1200 and 1680 x 1050 scales. Right now I'm running 1680 x 1050. I've done work in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Lightroom, and everything has been fine for me. Now of course the UI doesn't look retina quality, but it's not THAT fuzzy. As far as content goes, all my content is 100% is the apps I listed above, but I haven't had any work in the apps you listed, sorry. What I can tell you though is that from first glance, the material in the apps you listed aren't going to look the best because of the viewing window issues. But here is a screenshot of After Effects if it helps at all:

with this screenshot for comparison. Is the result will be better in classicMBP 1680x1050?
I also want retina but there's still no retinaMBP I can try in Singapore.

Hey how's the raytrace render engine performance? Any chance it's taking advantage of that Nvidia 650M, or is Adobe going to have to do a software update before that'll happen?

Looks like most of the text in the App interface is being retina-ized automagically, which is great. Once they update CS6 for Retina Display though, that viewer currently showing the video at 33.3% will actually be 66.6%.
 
Mercury Playback Engine

Someone has to have tried to get After Effects and Premiere Pro CS6 to spot the Nvidia 650M card. Anyone have a screenshot or results?
 
Sorry just saw these now.

Until the icons and such get updated, they are pixelated somewhat (but not too bad). Everything else is good. Obviously the UI will look better on a classic MBP until an update comes around, but the ability to run at 1920 x 1200 is worth the trade off IMO.

Currently, it only supports the following cards:

GeForce GTX 285
Quadro CX
Quadro FX 4800
Quadro 4000

However, editing the card support file should theoretically get it to work, but I wouldn't try it for an important project to avoid any possible issues.
