Question

Using Photoshop CC on Macbook Pro retina

Hi, I am a web designer and I am trying to find a way forward in using Photoshop CC on my Macbook Pro (late 2013).  I have found posts that say you can open photoshop CS6 in "Low Resolution" however I cannot find the same option in Photoshop CC.  Zooming my design comps by 200% surely is not the answer.

Thanks for any advice anyone can give.

    Hello, you need to go to the applications folder, and right-click on Photoshop's app icon and select Get info, you will get the relevant checkbox: http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/01/viewing-photoshop-cs6-in-low-resolution-on-a-retina-display.html

      Hi there

      I am still have an issue displaying sharp images in photoshop while running PhotoShop CC low-res. Everything still seems very pixelated when viewing 100%.

      It's strange because when viewing it 100% in photoshop its blurry, but when savingthat exact file for web (say as a jpeg) and uploading it to a website, there is no fuzziness or blurriness to the image… is chrome/safari rendering rasterized files differently to photoshop?

      Any further tips?

        No scaling of the image I don't think. Check out these two screenshots, one of the image displayed in the browser after 'save for web' the other in photoshop.

        You can tell the pixelating issue by looking closely at the outside of the orange circle, looks like it is aliasing quite a bit in the photshop screen


        I also forgot to mention that the display resolution for my 15 inch MBP retina is set to 'More Space' - I assume that utilises the entire display being 2880 x 1800
