  • Are there different scaling interpolation methods?

    I seem to do a lot of videos about websites these days. That means I fill an HD screen with some pretty low-res images which makes them really soft. I would love it if I could maintain big chunky low res in these through settings. Like you can in photoshop > image > image size > [pulldown at the bottom of the dialog box] > nearest neighbor.

    What I have tried is:
    1. batch up-res-ing the frames in photoshop using this method which is more work than I care for and pretty wasteful in terms of processing

    2. Switch the scaled layer to draft mode which keeps it chunky looking but is still interpolating and the pixels drift around a bit which makes it look bad and not just low res

    3. Applying a sharpen filter after the bicubic scaling has occurred. This is actually giving me the best results at the moment.

    Any suggestions?
