Has the low resolution mode option been removed?


Adobe Animate does not run properly on a 5k iMac screen. Playback is laggy and irregular, both on the timeline and in .swfs. Normally I would 'get info' the animate icon in Applications, and enable low resolution mode. The instructions for this are shown on the apple support website:


"If an app looks different than you expect on your Retina display or high-resolution external display, try opening the app in low-resolution mode:

  1. Quit the app.
  2. Open the Applications folder.
  3. Click the app once to select it, then choose Get Info from the File menu.
  4. From the Get Info window that opens, select the checkbox labeled ”Open in Low Resolution.” 
  5. Close the Get Info window and open the app again.

Some apps that work best in low-resolution mode or that work only in low-resolution mode will have this mode already turned on, and in that case you might not be able to turn it off. The app developer might offer an update that includes support for the Retina display."


However I updated macOS to Monterey v12.0.1 yesterday (and have just updated animate to v 22 as well), and now I cannot see the 'low resolution mode' option any more. Has this been removed, or moved somewhere else?

iMac 27″, macOS 12.0

Okay, I checked one more Mac. It did exist in Big Sur so apparently it has been removed in Monterey. I couldn't find it because the Macs I checked with Big Sur or earlier didn't have a Retina display. Duh me. lol
