It is possible in Safari to highlight non-retina images with a red overlay, this makes it easier to determine if 2x images assets are loading correctly on a retina display. You can enable the hightlight effect with the following defaults write command:
defaults write -g CGContextHighlight2xScaledImages YES
Disable the overlay effect with:
defaults delete -g CGContextHighlight2xScaledImages
does this work with other browers like Chrome?
