 "Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 updated with Retina support")
Hours before its Create Now event today, Adobe has made some major announcements. First up is Adobe Illustrator CS6 now supporting HiDPI and Retina display. In an official blog, Adobe notifies that the HiDPI feature in Illustrator is currently only available on Mac OS and is expected to be available in the future on additional operating systems. With this update, customers can see more detail in images, text and in the Illustrator user interface when working on high-resolution displays, including the new Retina display available on MacBook Pro. This update is available to all Illustrator CS6 customers, both Creative Cloud members as well as owners of perpetual products. To be able to view the updates, users will have to open Illustrator CS6 and from the main menu select Help > Updates, and choose Update from the Updates dialog.

Adobe has also announced an update to Photoshop and Photoshop Extended 13.1, which installs new features for Adobe Creative Cloud members and Photoshop subscribers. In Photoshop or Illustrator, users will be required to choose Help > Updates. Once the Adobe Application Manager launches, users will have to select Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator CS6 and choose “Update.”
Adobe recently announced the release of Adobe Photoshop Touch 1.4, which brings optimisation for smaller tablet displays including the iPad Mini and Google Nexus 7.
