Hi everybody,

when i watch my pictures on the gallery with my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, all the pictures are not sharp and the gallery shows not all pictures on one site. so if i watch it on my "normal" MacBook without Retina, i see all the pictures in best sharpness. Can anybody give me a hint whats wrong?

Thanks
Michael

I am afraid this is caused by the lack of Retina support in Flash. Right now there is little we can do to remedy it, but we have plans of switching to a HTML only frontend.

Just to add some further response to this ... It is a global phenomenon (not only Imagevue or flash) that all graphics seem less sharp on retina, than non-retina, unless they are in fact prepared for retina screens (at double resolution). Why? This you need to ask Apple about, but basically images are scaled to fit the retina resolution (rendering them slightly blurry), while on non-retina screens the images are displaying at a sharp 1:1 pixel ration unscaled.

As Nick said, we hope to offer retina compatible version int he future, which technically requires embedding images at double resolution.
