Hello,
I currently use a 2009 MacBook Pro for Photoshop CS6 and would like to upgrade to a new MBPRetina. In looking at the Retina machines at a local Apple Store i noticed that the brightness seemed a bit less than my 2009 MBP and also the current iMacs. Even at the highest brightness setting it seemed a bit low.
After doing a little bit of Google searching i see that the display is about 20% less bright on the MBPR vs. the non retina MBPs.
A few questions:
1. Do you feel that the display on the MBPR is bright enough for Photoshop use?
2. Do you think the next release of the MBPR will have a brighter display?
3. How does Photoshop CS6 run on the MBPR? Any issues with the program and the increased resolution of the MBPR display?
thanks so much for your help with this. This is a big purchase for me so I'm very interested in your input!
take care,
rick
