title: iOS icons are all blurry even after @2x copies are made
body: <p>I have had my designer create all of the icons for an app and they are all blurry. At first, I doubted the designer, but we ended up getting a little icon kit from an extremely well known iOS app designer. I implemented them, and I got the same blurriness as before. </p>
  
  <p>So I know it's not my designer. It has to be my (the coder) fault somehow. I once saw something about getting a CGRefContext or something to make icons and images sharper, but I can no longer find the SO question where somebody said that answer :(</p>
  
  <p>I have saved a regular sized icon + a @2x sized icon of everything in the app.</p>
  
  <p>For example, we're trying to put in some toolbar icons into a toolbar, and the images are sized at 25 x 25 for the normal size, and then 50 x 50 in the @2x size.</p>
  
  <p>Also, I am testing directly to an iPhone 4S. So it's not like I'm viewing it in the Simulator or something. </p>
  
  <p>I have looked up the icon sizes guidelines, and to make the icon sizes all double would just result in a much larger version of the icons. Perhaps there is some way to shrink them programmatically that I'm unaware of?</p>
  
  <p>Please help. We've been passively trying to correct this problem for weeks!</p>
