Hi, As most of us I use 326ppi for retina display but I came across this interesting piece: http://www.planetquark.com/2012/03/14/132-ppi-72-dpi-264-ppi-what-image-resolution-should-you-use-the-for-new-ipad/#.UXjqcyuPjvg What do you guys think? Should we really bother with the resolution or just make the image 4 times bigger with any resolution? Cheers, Farcat Title Comments Hi, As most of us I use 326ppi for retina display but I came across this interesting piece: http://www.planetquark.com/2012/03/14/132-ppi-72-dpi-264-ppi-what-image-resolution-should-you-use-the-for-new-ipad/#.UXjqcyuPjvg What do you guys think?

This basically means making 4 sets of images for 'everything', iPhone, iPhone Retina, iPad, iPad Retina. I rarely work with ppi; I'm a dpi kind of guy :) Cheers! -- Smug Comments It's probably not the 'best' way, but I usually build my images for iOS in accordance with the Apple guidelines, which are close enough for 'most' Android image requirements as well.
