Those two cases are orthogonal — one doesn't exclude the other, and I'm not claiming that it solves the "art-directed" case. In fact, even if you have adaptive cropping of the image, you'd still want image resolution to match display's DPI, e.g. obama-face@2x.jpg vs obama-with-audience@2x.jpg and possibly negotiate on both axes at the same time: obama-face@2x.jpg vs obama-with-audience@2x.jpg vs obama-face@1x.jpg vs obama-with-audience@1x.jpg -- regards, Kornel Lesiński
