keekee312

Hi, I have my project made with Ipad Landscape and I want to do it on iPhone 4 (and 3gs) but I don't manage to resize images well. I have a copy of the project, I put the resolution on iPhone 4
but images which I manually resized with gamesalad are off screen (while they are in the "screen area" so I don't know how to do it, please help me.

Thanks a lot

PS : I cheked on forums, support and internet to find a solution but nothing..

You cannot simply resize the images from the iPad to the iPhone4. You will have to move stuff around.

In addition to the size difference, the devices are different aspect ratios.

The iPad is a standard 3x4 aspect ratio, like an old CRT television, and the iPhones and iPod Touches are widescreen.

Ok, thank you for your answer. Could you advise me how to do for better conclusions ?
The width ratio difference between iPad and iPhone 4 is 1,07 and height ratio is 1,2 but I don't know what size my images have to be to look good because I can only have iPhone 3G's image in my preview screen so It'll look bad on my iPhone 4, won't it ?
I'm really lost in troubles...

By the way, I too am nearly done my first title on the iPad and would like to optimize for iPhone/iTouch afterwards...So do I simply scale down to use one resolution for all? 960x640 and check off 'enable resolution independence' ?
