I have a question regarding retina display graphics. I understand you are suppose to double up the dimension of an actor ( ex. 256x256 becomes 512x512 ) My confusion is the following, if that rule is followed, would every graphics have to be square? is an "actor" different from a "graphic"? Looking at a graphic I just made, it tells me that its 556x307. Its wider than taller. how do i make it so that its divisible by 2? Im sure I am missing the logic behind this any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Yes the image placeholder is square, though your image can be anything with a transparent background. So just try to get a even no for the dimensions.

    you want to design your graphics so each side (width and height) are divisible by four. That will allow gamesalad to reduce it in half, and still be a valid number so it does not end up on a .5 pixel.

    i think i understand now. When it comes resolution should i exceed 72dpi? Again thanks guys for clearing this up for me.
