    A lot of clients of me want to have different picture sizes for the overview of their projects to get a salon hang impression. wordpress won’t do it, so i offer my clients a field to upload an image just for that feature and use the original file. but now retina is making problems, so my idea is this:
    take the uploaded image, use it as retina, create one additional image of it with half its dimensions and let wordpress do the handeling, probably with an own selector, like ‘custom’ or so..

    Of course I had this feature in mind already, a few times I thought seriously about it. The main problem is that it will break a lot of functionality in the WordPress core and it will go beyond that depending on the plugins which are in use. The first uploaded image shouldn’t be modified, it should be the original. If I hack this process, then it might be cool in some simple case of use but it will become a nightmare for others.

    The other alternative I gave is to upload a normal image through the uploader then upload a retina full-size version of it through the dashboard (Pro version). Many people do it this way now.

    My idea is to add now a one upload does everything in the dashboard, exactly like what you said. The different is that the users would have to go through the Retina dashboard to upload those files (which will use the normal image process creation with a 1x version of that image) to avoid overriding the standard flow.
