No retina support?

Post by garyi »

I noticed today aperture is being retired and then spotted a possible alternative (Don't like lightroom)

Sorry but not having retinas support out of the box, this is not a great advert. Retina has been out for years.

I don't normally sign up to just moan, but I just think with the massive amounts of competitiveness in software out there, you need to be far sharper than this. Pro photo software without retina.

umm..

I haven't manged to find any info that Apple has retired Aperture, but retina ready means simply that it can be viewed and operated on iPad and other similiar products. Good one with the Kodak retina... :mrgreen:

Any updates on when AfterShot Pro 2 for Mac would finally support retina?
Right now the interface looks just terrible on retina display.

From experience, I don't think there is support for Retina displays as of yet. Regardless, I really can't see the difference on a rMBP (Mid-2014 with dGPU) at "More Space" setting that allows for 1920x1200 of useable screen real estate. All the tools and icons look fine however, the picture fully zoomed out is pixelated.

It won't be as useful (except for the iMac 5K) as the rMBP at "Retina" resolution provides only 1440x900 of screen space on a 15.4" display. All elements will be quite big unless Corel scales those down slightly as well. It's going to require quite a bit of work to get it to a useable state. Though, I do hope they add basic support for the selected image to be rendered and visible at high resolution than what it currently does zoomed out.

Corel is quite behind in the Mac sphere (no retina support, lacks gatekeeper Apple developer certification, OpenCL and plug-ins lead to crashes on certain hardware yet, work fine on others etc.). For now, one will have to just live with what is there and work in 1:1 to see the detail.
