I am thinking about getting a MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display. This
screen has a native 2560x1600 px screen, with various display settings: a
"doubled pixel" resolution of 1280x800, and the possibility to use
intermediate (interpolated) resolutions of 1440x900 and 1680x1050. (native
2560x1600 is not directly accessible without a third-party soft, mainly
because everything gets very tiny).

Whatever the resolution chosen, some applications (like iPhoto) use the
full native resolution to display images (eg it is possible to display a
2000x1000 image in a window with all its pixels at 100% even when using a
120x800 setting). My question is: is it the case for ImageJ on such a
display? If not, for people who use such a screen, is the image quality
acceptable when working with ImageJ with interpolated resolutions (1440x900
or 1650x1080)?

Thanks for your input,
