The creative suites of Adobe will soon be compatible with Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina Display, or HiDPi.
According to Photoshop.com, it was announced that the Photoshop and Lightroom programs will receive an update, and it will include Retina Display availability.
"Supporting this new technology requires significant work by our product teams and we're committed to provided a free update to all Photoshop CS6 customers this Fall and Lightroom 4 as soon as the work is complete," stated Photoshop.com's Thogarty.
Thogarty added, "While Photoshop, Photoshop Touch and Lightroom will be joining Adobe Ideas in their support of HiDPI Retina Displays, Photoshop Elements will not fully support HiDPI displays in the immediate future however the team is investigating the effort required to support these new displays."
Members of Creative Cloud, which is membership group that lets users download and install any of the Adobe Creative Suite (CS) 6 applications and obtain latest apps in advance, will be the first to receive the new Retina update and can expect frequent updates.
Other CS6 updates include Dreamweaver, Edge Animate, Illustrator, Photoshop Touch, Prelude, SpeedGrade, and Adobe Premiere Pro.
According to Adobe, "[Retina] displays allow for a dramatic improvement in image fidelity and resolution. Naturally, designers, photographers and creative professionals want to take full advantage of this new technology. Software that is not native to HiDPI display uses interpolation to duplicate pixels to fill the screen, meaning text is not as sharp and images don't have as much detail. The increased resolution of these displays requires that each product update the interface of the application and ensure that the content or the creation itself is displayed accurately with the appropriate level of fidelity."
