An announcement on Adobe's website regarding the company's upcoming "Create Now Live" contains a video that appears to show a Retina display MacBook Pro running Photoshop CS6, suggesting the photo editing software will finally be getting native high-resolution screen support.
As noted by Mac Otakara, the embedded video shows a MacBook Pro with Retina display running Photoshop CS6 in what looks to be the laptop's native Hi-DPI screen resolution.
The most telling evidence is the screenshot above, which clearly shows incredibly smooth font and mouse cursor reproduction indicative of the MacBook's Retina display.
In August, Adobe announced that it would be bringing support for both Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 by the end of the year. Adobe released Lightroom 4.3 earlier in November with support for both the 13-inch and 15-inch Retina-toting MacBook Pro models.
Adobe is slated to kick off "Create Now Live" on Dec. 11, with a keynote from Vice President of Products Jeffrey Veen. Among the topics of discussion will be new Creative Cloud features and design talks from industry professionals.
The full event schedule:

If any app can benefit from/has a reason to adopt Retina hardware it's Photoshop.

And video editing apps, and other similar apps like gimp, aperture, pixelmator, etc and pretty much any other app on the planet, besides fart apps.

There are a few apps I'd place above Photoshop in importance. Illustrator and InDesign, most notably. I think they're much more important to have Retina display support than Photoshop. That and any type design software. I'd much rather have my type and vector graphics retina-rendered than bitmapped graphics any day.
Photoshop Elements too please. Maybe end of 2013 with PSE 12?
I know this would be expensive, but now would be a great time for Apple to release a Retina Thunderbolt Display. Perhaps around the same time the MacPro is announced/released?
