Ever tried to increase an image's resolution while keeping it's measured size the same (kind of like enlarging it, I suppose) using a graphic program, Gimp or Photoshop?
Even using Perfect Resize or various interpolation settings, you lose quality, especially around text and other sharp edges. Letters should have sharp crisp edges, not dithered and blurry shit edges.
What confused me was if I zoomed in on the image (not talking text here, an image pasted into Word) as it sits in a Word document, the graphic enlarged perfectly with no loss of quality.
I got mad, and just zoomed in on the damn image as it sat in a Word document, took a screenshot, and then pasted the screenshot back into the image, and then shrunk it down, resulting in increased resolution but the same sized image.
Do you know that shit worked?
I was able to increase resolution of an image 500% with zero loss of quality doing that (letters and lines stayed sharp and crisp). What ever enlargement Word uses to zoom... why the hell can't any graphic program enlarge by the same method?
And now you know.
