Pixelated Adobe Indesign on Macbook pro retina 13inch

Hi I have a Macbook Pro with Retina Display and I recently installed Adobe InDesign and I am suffering the pixelated look. The adobe update fixed photoshop but bridge and camera raw opened from bridge remain blurry. HOWEVER if i select open file in photoshop from bridge, camera raw opens up perfectly sharp. theres some major glitch going on and i start studying in 3 days and i need this sorted. any ideas? thanks for your time

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Which version of InDesign? I know that the CS6 and CC editions have Retina display capabilities but older versions lack this capability.

If you're running CS6 or CC, you may want to post in the Adobe InDesign community forum -> http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign.

Good luck,

Clinton

sorry i didnt mean indesign i meant design standard. although indesign is blurry as are all the adobe software. the adobe updates only fixed photoshop. if photoshop is fixed they all must be able to be fixed. i tried finding the open in low resoloution checkbox to see if it was checked but i cant even access that information like was recommended.

its just strange how camera raw opened from bridge is blurry but opened through photoshop its perfectly sharp. it must be a settings issue somewhere

The CS6 version of the Design Standard suite or a previous version?

AFAIK, everything in the CS6 Design Standard suite has been updated to work with Retina displays... Photoshop was the first and, with updates, the rest followed.

EDIT: As I use the CC versions of all Adobe apps, I could be wrong about earlier versions supporting Retina display...

Yes i currently have the CS6 version. i have performed all updates and everything in the Design Standard Suite is funky and pixelated with the exception of photoshop. camera RAW opens both pixelated and perfect depending on where its opened from. you would think the updates would have fixed it but they didnt..

I finally got an answer - only the CC version of InDesign (9.x version) is Retina-ready. CS6 is not.

Sorry,
