 * I am looking for a little clarification. In the dashboard it lists the images
   that are missing retina images. Some of these are because the image I am using
   is too small. For example, I am using some icons that are 56px x 56px. The plugin
   states they need to be at least a certain size. So my confusion is, if I use 
   images that are bigger, they won’t be the size I want them to display at. So 
   if I want to have my images that small, am I just out of luck with the generator?
   The only work around I saw was to just double the size of my icons via Photoshop
   and upload them with the @2x attached. Is that the best way to go about this 
   with smaller sized images?
 * Any clarification would be appreciated.

 * The image you upload is not the image size you use on your blog. You should learn
   about the WordPress Image Sizes (google). You can configure those sizes to be
   the ones you want, you can add new ones through plugins for that, etc. WP Retina
   2x will always automatically generate the retina ones in the background.
