Image Scaling from highest to lowest

If you have all your images at the highest resolution (i.e.: iPad 3 retina) than why is it necessary to provide the @2 and @4 images? Doesn’t the “newImageRect” take care of that? Just wondering what the benefit is before I go ahead and do it for all my images. Thanks! [import]uid: 8780 topic_id: 32822 reply_id: 332822[/import]

If you provide the highest resolution images for the standard (iPad1) you may suffer lower performance. iPad3 is fine with huge images but you’ll use up more texture memory than desirable on the iPad1 this way. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 32822 reply_id: 130498[/import]

Thanks Peach. Then would you recommend scaling from the lowest to highest and keeping the lowest as the default size? Or, scale from the highest to the lowest and keeping the highest as the default size? Thanks! [import]uid: 8780 topic_id: 32822 reply_id: 130537[/import]

This is how I would be doing it, personally :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 32822 reply_id: 130724[/import]
