in Working with GS (Mac)

I've always kinda had a problem with making my graphics as good looking as possible... can anyone please give some pointer for what they do to make their graphics look best as possible?

Btw what does Legacy Retina Display mean.. ?

    Doesn't sound like a problem to me. :)

    I always make my graphics exactly x2 the size they need to be - I do this because I want to have the retina resolution support. Also make sure your graphic sizes are divisible by 2 or 4.

    Hi @http_gamesalad As @Braydon_SFX mentioned - that, and 72ppi resolution, then that'll be the optimum aspects for the best possible image display.

    Sorry, don't think there's such a thing: there's Legacy iPhone and Web Game support - both of which is pre-Retina Display (Resolution Independence).

    @gyroscope I think he is refering to the GS publishing tick box titled that...I was curious also. Its a new box only by a few months

    OK, thanks for info, @Thunder_Child :smile: (Still don't understand tho' - perhaps it means Legacy Pre-Retina Display - unless i'm missing something....)

    The little legacy checkbox during publishing was put in there for people using 2x assets. So if your using 2x assets, make sure to check it. This assures that gs doesn't split your 2x images into 3x 2x and 1x.

    Eating celery while you make your graphics could make the experience a little crispier.
