Re: Need bigger pictures
Which reminded me, Dunc wrote a piece on the subject back in August: http://duncandavidson.com/blog/2012/08/retina_ready Since my blog software is all hand-crafted, I smell some nasty-ish hacking in my future. But even worse than that is the fact that, over the years, I’ve been exporting all my pix from the RAW originals at 1024x720, so once the software’s done, I’m facing the task of going back and re-exporting them all. And to make it worse, in the early years of my blog I cleverly renamed them after exporting.

JavaScript display size sniffing and multiple versions of each image? The thought makes my skin crawl... i haven't dealt with it directly myself, but i've done a bit of reading on the subject and the default answer is to do a media query in your CSS; i assume (at some risk) this also works with Nexus 10 browsers this is one of the better articles i've read (though one could spend hours scouring for more thoughts): http://benfrain.com/how-to-serve-high-resolution-website-images-for-retina-displays-new-ipadiphone4/ (don't ignore the Jobsis observation toward the end) and this is pretty good too: http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2012/08/20/towards-retina-web/ having a good CMS makes it a lot easier to adapt (i doubt this is news to Tim, though i know he rolls his own CMS so i can't say how hard it will be for him); on Drupal sites it's already typical for the server auto generate multiple sizes of an image when uploaded (thumbnail, body-width, full-res, etc.) so it's not too hard to add another size to this -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
