Q: What should I do about the Ghosting of my MBPro Retina?
There have been a few discussions, but I'm not the most tech-savy person and just need a stright forward answer. Will this disappear over time or should I take it into an Apple store and see if I can get a replacement since I still have some Repairs and Service Coverage still valid? I'm a photographer so the quality of screen is quite important. Thanks for any contributions

Now that it has appeared, it is not likely that it will disappear. Apple has said (in the link Ralph Landry1 provided) that a certain amount of ghosting (image retention) is expected on this display. You can take it to an Apple Store and they will run a test on it to see if it meets the criteria for replacement.
That being said, there are a couple of things you can do to lessen the impact or perception of ghosting. You can change the background to a pattern and avoid solid or predominately medium to dark solid colors; avoid leaving a single window of high contrast images on display for an extended time; use a screen saver with a moving image that activates after a short period of not using the computer; letting the display go to sleep after inactivity. Certainly these suggestions may not be possible for everyone, but any that you can do will help.
