    Another thing worth pointing out is that Photoshop normally renders 1px and 2px values for the "Size" of shadows, glows and bevels exactly identical. Therefore doubling a 1px shadow to 2px will always look too sharp because it won't actually change anything.

    That’s ridiculous. I hate all Photoshop’s stupid little things like this, but no competitors do everything I need yet…

    @Paul Ungureanu In Layer Cake we 'visually' scale the shadow when rendering the @2x version. If you specify a 1px or a 2px shadow in your PSD (both look identical) we will draw a 2px shadow for the @2x versions (so both still look identical).
