 * A lot of clients of me want to have different picture sizes for the overview 
   of their projects to get a [salon hang](https://www.google.de/search?q=salon+hang&biw=1368&bih=872&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=6eIvVYKkNoTlaJPcgoAL&sqi=2&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ)
   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.
