Since a few minor versions, PS default template supports retina images: on page load javascript checks if screen is retina and if it is it tries to replace all product images with the same filename with "2x" at the end (before image extension).
As far as I understand (I could be wrong but this should be the correct procedure) when a user uploads an image that is at least twice the size of the "thickbox" size in Preferences > Images, an image version is saved with "2x" with twice the thickbox size dimesions.

I'm not sure, Yosh.
According to your comment - this is Retina based temples by 3d developpers -
google search - https://www.google.com.ua/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=prestashop%20template%20retina
What kind of core template are you talking ?
Could you give us example ?

Default-bootstrap template: http://fo.demo.prestashop.com/en/ - check global.js , the function that does this is highdpiInit() . If you can, open the site with a retina mbp or imac so you can see it better.

In our case it's better to implement such support for import of images and adding.

Right, I just sent you the link so you can see it is implemented in default prestashop template.

Thanks for comment, Yosh.
I'll forward your suggestion to our QA department.
They'll try to test it for Retina.
P.S. Right now I'm not sure, that PrestaShop engine operateі with Retina images for product import.
We need to investigate this subject.
I'll try to find out.

The import is not working correctly for retina in 1.6.0.14 but it is fixed for 1.6.1.0. Please refer to this: http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCSX-5364 - it was just fixed today (you can see the changes in the commit do exactly what I said, multiply the dimensions * 2).

Can this be added to next release too, please? It is very important. Right now we have to upload all our images via backend so the retina version is generated.
Take into account it should only be generated if the option is enabled on Preferences > Images > "Generate high resolution images".

as per your before-last comment "so I hope to implement Retina support in stage 3. ", I believe this is the stage you are at.
Thanks.

So, here I am 4 years later and several (even major) prestashop releases since then. Still in the line, still waiting...
Both Prestashop 1.6 and 1.7 have the option in Image Settings: "Generate high resolution images" which generate the @2x images.
Still no support for this in the manager. Today I ran the store diagnostics on a shop for "images with no records in database" and even all those @2x images are detected as trash (no records in database) yet they were generated by Prestashop core having that setting on the preferences on.
