Ipad2 -> Ipad3 Image resize

Games
#1

Can I please get a step by step process for getting my images that were sized for an IPAD 2 to accurately display on an IPAD3 WITHOUT resizing them in an image application program. I have literally have hundreds of images and I don’t want to have to resize them if possible.

I have been all over these forums and there is no one stop post for this information and what is out there now is very confusing.

Please include any necessary software upgrades and coding examples.

Thank you,

If you do nothing, the new iPad will automatically resize it for you and users will see you app exactly as they see on iPad2. However, this is nothing using the benefits of the new display, which requires a larger resolution.

Unfortunately no software will resize images from lower to higher resolution without “pixelation” (your image will be blurried). You will need to re-create all your PNG/JPG files in higher resolution manually if you plan to use the Retina display of the new iPad.

Hi Alex,

I’m sorry but you are wrong. I have started our application up on the Ipad 3 without any changes and the images are displayed at 1/4 size.

Are we talking about image size (in this case, I am totally right :slight_smile: ) or dynamic scaling resolution in Corona? If it is the second case, you should start here: http://www.coronalabs.com/blog/2012/03/22/developing-for-ipad-retina-display/

If you are coding your app using the largest resolution (for example you coded your entire app using 2048x1536, instead all the samples Corona Labs provides, which are 480x320), meaning the same way I coded Kwik, you should use an opposite config.lua file. See an example:

local kScale = "zoomStretch" application = { content = { width = 1536, height = 2048, fps = 60, scale = kScale, imageSuffix = { ["@2"] = .5, --used for the iPad1 and iPad2 ["@4"] = .3, --used for the iPhone } }, } [import]uid: 4883 topic_id: 29599 reply_id: 118861[/import]

Hi Alex,

Ha! Yes you are right about image size as oppposed to dynamic scaling. I’ll definitely check this out!

thanks!
