Not automatically generating and slow load

    Hi,
    Many of the images I upload are not automatically generating in the retina plugin, and I have to generate some of them manually. Also, when I click generate, a few of the images are unresponsive and will not generate (the exclamation point remains). Is there a reason for this? Also, the images on the site are taking a very long time to load. Is this because they are drawing from the retina size which I should not be using for parts of the site?
    Thanks and any suggestions are appreciated.

    Your image on the front page is 5616×3744 px. It’s huge! Are you going to diplay it on a wall? No wonder it’s loading slowly. Besides, you are using the Studiofolio theme. I’m not sure, but the plugin doesn’t seem to work with dynamically rendered images or, at any rate, Studiofolio always appears to deliver the full-size image for any resizable content. I’m trying to explore some options in this thread. Your masonry portfolio available under “PHOTOGRAPHY” looks OK. I chcked the “moments of fatherhood” picture – it is sourced correctly from a an 830 px wide file, but I have no means of checking this on a retina. You can check to see if you have a file like this: http://alibibbo.com/wptest/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/MomentsofFatherhood23-830×[email protected]. As a matter of fact I am not sure if Studiofolio would display such a file in this context at all.
    I have also opened an issue on undsgn, because the retina thing is poorly covered in their materials.
    As regards your other problem, strange things may happen due to the sheer file size and memory contraints on your server.
    I hope the the Author will shed some more light on it and correct my lame specutlations.

    I just received an answer from undsgn:

    Hi Jakub,
    to clarify we dont use Retina Plugin to website images (attachment) but only for logo, so you dont need to worry about that!
    Studiofolio image compression is something quite complex described here (very similar). Those are new advanced techniques: http://blog.netvlies.nl/design-interactie/retina-revolution/

    Studiofolio simply compresses images instead of using 2 versions of the same image (except for the logo).

    Hi,

    My logo was working with retina, but now it isn’t.

    I’ve got two version of the file and had my @2x uploaded.

    It now isn’t making it smaller and I’m having to use my small logo which isn’t retina on mobile.

    Please help.
