Retina
screen display with high pixel density (High Dots Per Inch or HiDPI)
belongs to one of the Apple MacBook Pro is capable of displaying images
that are very sharp. But this ability becomes useless when it is not accompanied by optimization of third-party applications.
That's
why Adobe, maker of the popular photo editing software Photoshop,
prepare a special version of the application that are optimized for
HiDPI display.
Adobe announced that HiDPI screen support will be available in Photoshop CS6 in a few months, followed by Lightroom 4.
The screen on the MacBook Pro with Retina Display has a resolution of 2880x1800. This
becomes a problem when the applications that are not optimized for the
high resolution runs as the 1440x900 resolution which is a standard
resolution without retina display MacBook pro.
Each
pixel on the display applications-including images or photographs in
Photoshop-expanded up to the size of four pixels (pixel doubling). As a result, the displayed image appears pixellated or boxes as it has a low resolution, even though they are not.
An
example of this can be seen from the images produced by the application
that is optimized for the retina display (the default Preview
application of Mac OS) and are not optimized (Photoshop), as submitted
by the photographer cited PetaPixel.

Differences
over complicate a number of photo editing techniques associated with
fine details such as image sharpening because the end result could not
be seen properly.
Adobe promises retina display update Photoshop CS6 will be released later this year. Other
Adobe applications will also be optimized for high-resolution screens,
including Dreamweaver, Edge Animate, Illustrator, Lightroom, Photoshop,
Photoshop Touch, Prelude, Premiere Pro, and SpeedGrade. The cheap version of Photoshop, Photoshop Elements is not included in the list.
