XF version 3.2.9. PS 1.6
I temporarily disabled the “Retina” option in the Theme editor module until I could replace my images with larger ones. Instead of replacing the images because they are perfect on the desktop (screenshot attached), do I enable all the _2x suffix image settings and disable the rest of them? Where would I be able to add duplicate images that are different sizes as it mentions below? I attached screenshots of the current images settings which I’ve never edited.
All of this information below is from the Transformer V4 docs:
“Retina Ready”
https://www.sunnytoo.com/product/transformer-multi-purpose-responsive-prestashop-theme
“For example, you have a product picture, its dimension is 1000px X 2000px. PrestaShop copes it down to 100px X 200px as a thumbnail, by default the thumbnail would look even more blur on a Retina display than its on a desktop display. The solution is to use another copy of the picture which dimension is 200px X 400px to remove the small one on retina display, then you would be surprised how crisp & clear the thumbnail would look on retina display. The theme comes with a lot image types with _2x suffix, they are image types for Retina display.”
Hi,
1. Currently your product images are small, so just disable the Retina option. No need to disable any image types.
2. My describe may not be accurate. Like the picture showing on the desktop-images-look-fine.jpg, it’s image type is large_default, 360×420. It will look blue on retina displays, in order to make it look sharp, the theme will automatically change it’s image type from large_default to large_default_2x on retina displays. In your cause the size of large_default_2x image type should be 720×840, twice of large_default.
If your product images is in 500×500, prestashop will add white borders to force large_default_2x images to be in 720×840, which would make your images look even small that not using the retina feature.
If your product images is in 1000×1000, with the retina ready feature, your images will look crisp & sharp on retina displays.

Ok then I believe the best thing for me to do is upload my original large images. The jewelry images were some of the first products on my site and at the time everyone kept saying to optimize images for faster page loading. Also I was using a different theme.
With your theme I don’t have to do that, I believe.
Thank you!

What we always do with images is to find a perfect sweet spot for the image size, ex 2000×1000, from that we can then calculate the image size for all the different types, to make sure we keep the aspect ration, and avoid white borders around images etc.
So we always make sure to rescall our images to get the best result actually.
