John Mensinger Oct 27, 2014 1:08 PM (in response to ChickenWang)No Retina support in CS6, and no other way to get it but sign up for a CC subscription.

BobLevine Oct 27, 2014 1:11 PM (in response to ChickenWang)Sorry, but CS6 has no support for retina displays. You have two choices: live with it or upgrade to Creative Cloud.

ChickenWang Oct 29, 2014 12:05 PM (in response to BobLevine)Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere... almost the entire suite works and I can uncheck "Open in Low Resolution" and it works fine w. Retina.
Do you mean that JUST InDesign has no support for retina?

Peter Spier Oct 29, 2014 12:36 PM (in response to ChickenWang)That's correct. To support Retina thousands of lines of code needed to be re-written, and that was folded into the CC build.

5. Re: Open in Low Resolution is Grayed Out
Steve Werner Oct 29, 2014 12:50 PM (in response to Peter Spier)There is a back story: The code for the Macintosh version of InDesign had to be rewritten from scratch for InDesign CC because of Apple's requirement that all code had to be "de-carbonized," that is, rewritten using the Cocoa system calls. It involved millions of lines of code. The effort began in the CS5 and CS6 development timeframe and continued until the release of InDesign CC. There was simply no engineer time available to produce the thousands of lines of Retina code for CS6 at the same time. It could only be done for InDesign CC.
Bottom line, as told above: Either upgrade to InDesign CC or live with it.

ChickenWang Oct 29, 2014 1:44 PM (in response to ChickenWang)Awesome. Thanks for the knowledge everyone!
I guess I'll use Illustrator when I can and just live with it. However, I could work in InDesign [everything looks crappy] and then open the file in CC or a non-Retina computer and I would see it as "normal" quality?
