Hi folks.
Quick question: IF I'm running in 'regular' Retina mode - i.e. looks like 1440x900, but with more pixels available for Retina enabled apps - then would an 800x600 image appear exactly as it would do on a native 1440x900 panel, except for using twice the pixels along each dimension?
This was my assumption, and to tell the truth I can't imagine why it might work any other way, but a few things I've read suggests that such an image would be in some way 'interpolated'.
Is this true or is this just misinformation/misunderstanding by some people?
If it's true (sorry, second question), can this interpolation be disabled, so that it displays only the pixels that are actually there - without attempting to 'round out' the jaggies, so to speak?
Big concern for me...
