Apple release a new Macbook Pro with Retina Display (2880x1800). Applications need to be optimize to support this resolution. More Mac computers will have this type of display in future and I'm suppose Windows computer too.

Please considerate to adapt Lightroom to this new display.

I too would love to see this done. I'm thinking of buying the retina MBP and am putting off both that and a purchase of LR4 until there's an update.

I love Lightroom and will love it more when it updates it to take advantage of Retina Displays

Meanwhile we can use the software called SetRes, it will set your OSX to use the maximum resolution of the screen directly. LR will look super small but very usable. http://wineskin.urgesoftware.com/tiki... (the second link)

This would be great. Aperture looks absolutely amazing on this machine. Lightroom ... not so much.

Mountain Lion (when released) will support independent scaling of images and text. This allows images to make full use of the 2880x1800 screen without text getting scaled down.

I have no disappointment with support for the MBP with retina screen ... it will come in time ... though ... I'm trying to calculate just how I could come up with the courage to claim publicly on the internet that I thought one of my paying clients was "ridiculous" at best, or insinuating they were representing themselves with embellishments or "exaggeration" (i.e. lying) at worst ... I'm coming up empty on how I could do that ... even if they deserved being classified as such ...

I would think doing so would add fuel to the fire for whatever complaint or issue the customer was having a problem with ... I would think being slightly more tactful in my response to that customer would be of more benefit, rather than risking a negative escalation of the the concerns.

Perhaps, this is an prime example of my own concerns about the decision making at Adobe is at times extremely wrong-minded and not benefiting my potential workflow and I should re-evaluate my willingness to invest monetarily in software solutions developed by Adobe for my business ... I don't feel very comfortable supporting any businesses that doesn't have my best interests at heart. ... such comments certainly makes me wonder just what is said by Adobe employees behind the scenes about their customers ... or how important we users actually are in the decision making process for development ...
