You don't have to do anything - it adjusts automatically.

I don't quite understand. How does LR know you want retina display and what format do you export it as to display on a Ipad 4?

Thanks,

Joe

Ah, LR 4.3's advertised Retina support means it works with HiDPI on a MacBook Pro with a retina screen - and Lightroom does that automatically because it knows what machine it's running on. It has nothing to do with retina iPads.

If you're trying to export big enough files for a retina iPad, then it's simply a normal JPEG at high resolution. The iPad retina display is 2048x1536 so those are the pixel dimensions you'd set in the Export dialog.

"retina display" is just a fancy term that Apple come up with to hype the market. The truth is, it is just a high resolution image. I hate it when people call it "retina image". Íts just high resolution image.
