I understand sharpening can or will pixelate an image; it sounds as if you're saying, that I should display the largest image at the inbetween points, as in between, small and large ? Another idea that has come to mind is; if retina display requires an image double or triple it's actual size,

What is desperately needed, I'm strictly a Photoshop guy when it comes to anything photo or web graphics is the ability to proportionally scale the layers in a Photoshop document to whatever size is needed, if I found such a tool I'd buy in a heart beat, it would save me so much time.
