 * Hi Jordy,
 * I have a very basic question I was hoping you can clarify for me. I am a little
   unclear about what the Pro Version does that the Standard Version does not do,
   as well as why I need to upload a file size of 2048×2048 or larger and not just
   files with 2048px width. (My website is 1024px wide, so I am uploading pictures
   with the width of 2048px, but they don’t necessarily have a height of 2048px 
   and usually something like 1536px.
 * 1. It says: The full-size images should have a resolution of 2048×2048 at least
   for the plugin to be able generate the 19 retina images required by your website.
   You also need to upload a retina image for the Full Size image (it should normally
   be 4096×4096). You can upload or replace the images by drag & drop.
 * a. What is “Full-Size Retina” for? Are you referring to when the whole website
   is a picture?
 * b. Why does it need to be 4096x4096px if my website is just 1024px wide? Wouldn’t
   2048px be enough?
 * 2. If my website is 1024px wide, if my images were all uploaded at 2048px width,
   why would my file’s height need to be 2048px or higher as well?
 * 3. I am very interested in the Pro Version, but I wanted to get an understanding
   what it really does for me. I read through your tutorials and FAQs, but could
   not 100% understand what it does for me that the standard version doesn’t do.
 * I wanted to thank you in advance for taking the time to respond to my questions
   and for making what appears to be a great plugin!
 * Thanks,
 * Kaz

 * Hello Kaz,
 * 1. Full Size retina is a retina image for your Full Size. I usually don’t recommend
   to use this but there are a few websites that don’t want to use those image sizes,
   only one instead. In that case, you need a retina for the full-size since there
   is only that size.
 * The website width and your image sizes are two different things. This 4096x4096px
   has been calculated base one your current image sizes.
 * 2. Not sure why, this is again linked to your current image sizes, maybe that
   would be interesting to list them (they are in your media settings and your theme
   settings – it is available in the pro version of the plugin in the details)
 * 3. More information, and assistance for full-size. It makes your life easier 
   basically and add a few features, but nothing vital. I also provide more support
   to those users.
