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.
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)
Chris, is this really an official answer? ... "until we finish the work we don't know exactly how long it will take" ... ???
isn't that what companies have project managers for? Adobe is not able to analyze a problem with its software and then map out a project plan and set a deadline on when it will be addressed? if Adobe is not able to do that then I think the company has more problems than a couple of unhappy Lightroom users that don't have a retina version.
and you can't make statements about unannounced versions?? again ??? what? So Adobe can't make a statement that we will address this issue in the next update, or we are working on it. you can't make that kind of statement?
We've already said we're working on it. And we really can't make statements about unannounced versions -- so I can't tell you when it would arrive, even if I knew..
Unfortunately, i'm moving to Aperture.. Lightroom on retina is only slightly usable in combination with SetResX, so the screen is set to 2880x1800, which makes the interface almost too small to use..
Well, Aperture is not as good. I had to give it a try but still... The biggest issue I have with LR + SetResX is that it is quite slow. When you use it a the "Retina" resolution it is much faster to work with. Let's hope for a new release or even a beta. We need something.
Finally got my MBPr (amazing machine) and I was surprised to discover that Lightroom DOES support the retina display, but only in Library. The previews look amazing when you make sure to have large enough standard previews.This was quite surprising indeed but a pleasant surprise. In Develop you get the lower resolution unfortunately but I am sure that will get fixed.
Screenshots here to prove it: http://lagemaat.blogspot.com/2012/08/...
Larry, did you look at my screenshots? The Library preview is clearly at the retina resolution and much better than the Develop preview. The develop preview is at low resolution but is still identical to what I see on a standard Mac Book with a 1440x900 pixel display, so definitely not optimal but still workable as I worked at such a resolution for ages. The library previews are as good as what I see in Aperture which we know does retina resolution. I am as surprised by this as you.
I am on a MBPr with 16GB RAM and running Mountain Lion (free update downloadable from the App Store using the Mac Up-to-date program that apple offers). I didn't try on Lion but it is possible that you need ML. I also have my standard previews set for the largest size offered.
I see the same thing. Perfect in library mode. Missing the extra pixels in develop mode.
Unfortunately, the problem persists in LR 4.2 RC.
Adobe, please fix.
Yo, Adobe.
You've become a lazy bunch of suits apparently. Small indie devs have updated far more complex software in a week or so.
Just do it. It's not that hard.
The retina display is every photographer's wet dream, so if you don't jump on board, you can expect to see a lot of us switching to Aperture.
MOVE YOUR A$$! It's been months!
Adobe better stop disappointing so much and start innovating again (if they ever did)
It's not like they are still the only ones in the market, theirs lots of very good alternative to adobe's software...
Um, no, indie developers don't have anything near as complex as Lightroom or Photoshop. And it's not all that easy since even the latest Apple scalable UI APIs have bugs that have to be worked around.
These things do take time, but would appear quicker to the user if Apple worked with developers ahead of time.
We've already announced that it is being worked on, and will arrive as soon as the work is complete.
I must say, Lightroom seems to keep getting better and better on my rmbp. I already moved back from Aperture to Lightroom. Thank god, what a piece of crap software that was..
