Sizing Stuff

[Stplmstr]

Just dabling in pixel images for the first time, but I was wondering if there is a way to enlage an image with out losing the pixelyness of it.

I did this


Now I made it large on my screen and took a screen cap for what I want to maintain, and then one of what happens when I just change the size. Is there a way to maintain the look in the first while resizing it so that I don't lose the option of having transparency ect.

if you're using photoshop, in : preferences > general > image interpolation, choose "nearest neighbour" from the drop down menu. Now you can resize and preserve hard edges.
I think in most of the image editing softs, you will just have to set the image resampling to nearest neighbour and avoid bicubic or bilinear.
Which tool are you using ?

Remember to enlarge in hundreds (Ex: 200%, 300%, 400%, etc...) If not it's not gonna be faithful. When you enlarge by 500% a pixel turns into 25 (5x5)
