Just to be absolutely sure, to make retina for ipad it's the image x2 right? And devisable by 4?

    A Retina iPad screen is 2048 x 1536 pixels.

    When you work in GameSalad on an iPad project you work at 1024 x 768 pixels . . . . so your images need to be twice the resolution of the iPad project.

    For example, if in your 1024 x 768 pixel GameSalad iPad project you have an actor that is 200 x 200 pixels then make sure the artwork for this actor is 400 x 400 pixels.

    Well . . . . . it's best to make your images divisible by 4, but in reality (and with Retina screens) it doesn't always make much of a difference, especially with photographic material (as opposed to graphic material) - yes, its best to make images divisible by 4, but your iPad is not going to blow up if your images are not divisible by 4, there is just a chance that the images might look a little softer on screen.

    But as a guide, yes, make them /4.
