Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 update for Retina display available

Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display was released in June which created issues for software not immediately able to support the high-resolution screen and pixel density. The higher resolution of the MacBooks means that application elements that are bitmapped, which includes toolbars and buttons, needed to be redrawn and recompiled for Retina displays. Retina support for Photoshop required replacing more than 2,500 icons and cursors!

Back in June Adobe had promised to provide Retina support for Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6, and finally the update is available. The update applies to in-app icons and menus as well as actual images and illustrator vector files being edited. If you own a 13 inch or 15 inch Retina MacBook Pro, you can now download the Retina version, which is around 129MB to download. Go and get it for quality graphics!
