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
Why would you think you need to use a resolution of 4096 x 3072?
That is twice the resolution of a retina display.
Retina display is 2048x1496.
Non-retina display is 1024x748.
Start with the retina resolution, create a retina version and then change the image size to 50% for non-retina.
Create .png images.
72 dpi is fine.
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
If you are working with a retina display, use the retina image otherwise use the non-retina image.
Yes, this is in your code where you specify the image to be used.
(It's not possible to use magic at this time; YOU have to tell the computer everything). 😝
Thanks Michal :-)
which resolution do I have to design for retina display Ipad 3
