Retina featured images clarification

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello,

I’ve read the documentation for retina featured images (https://forum.tagdiv.com/retina-images/) and have a question regarding how it works in practice.

My site (http://www.theapexracing.co) generally uses the default post style which has featured images that are 696px wide. I’m assuming that the Retina size would then be 1392px wide.

If I toggle retina images to on for this image size and regenerate thumbnails, if we don’t have an original image that is at least 1392px wide, will it default to the non-retina image?

In short, what are the fallback options if I enable retina-sized thumbnails but the source images aren’t large enough to create the thumbnails?

Thank you!

Hello,

The theme will still show the image in it;s default version if you cannot ad larger retina images. It will show the image as big as it can. it will how in the image quality. The size will remain the same but the image quality will grow on a retina display if you have biger size images. Retina means differnet pixel comp0ression. It will show double the amount of pixels in the same width. The image dimensions will not change on the front-end but rather the pixel density. If you have a large enough image, it will show a crisp retina image, if not, it will show the standard image quality.

Thank you!
