which resolution do I have to design for retina display Ipad 3

Hi all,


I have to design a background and icons for a ipad3 (2048x1536). With the Retina resolution I don’t know in which resolution I have to design?

Can I design in 2048x1536 or do I have to design my background in 4096 x 3072 pixels, and than rescale? I work in PS. Do I need to make my file in 72 or 150 dpi?


Can please somebody help me.


Thanks

iPad 2

Hi Michael,

Thank you. On this website:

I had read on that images had to be 2 times so big. My english is not so good, I may have not understood
it well.


So when I desing on: 2048x1496 pixel 72di its fine for Ipad3.

For Ipad and Ipad2 I have to scale the image 50%?

The reduction of 50% is something I have to do in the code of the app?


Thanks for helping me,

GNT
