    Hi friends,
    What steps do you take while designing an App UI ( only ) for Retina displays ?

    Not being too detailed, just looking for sharing general views

    - Like how do you begin
    - How do you convert an existing 1x design to Retina ( with mixed objects, icond, bitmaps etc , redesign them ? )

    Thanks,
    CB

    Your design in photoshop must be in 3x size.
    1x asset = 22px x 22px
    2x asset = 44px x 44px
    3x asset = 66px x 66px

    Dont upscale your design i.e start with 3x and create assets for 2x or 1x from it & Not the other way around.
