best file type for resizing 8/16-bit graphics - second.exodous - 09-09-2018
I'm trying to take a picture from a SNES game to upscale and use elements of it like take the chat window borders and use them on my desktop/videos.
So I put SNES9x to 1x size, take a picture of the screen, crop out the window boarders and the screen itself looks really good, I can zoom in all the way and the pixels are sharp. I scale it up to where the height is 720(for a 720p display) and it still looks good, 1 pixel turns into multiple pixels but still staying sharp, what I want. I tired exporting it as a .png, .bmp, .jpeg, and when I import it to any other program and stretch it it gets all fuzzy.
Is there a way to save it that when stretched with keeping it's aspect ratio the pixels will stay sharp?
Thanx,
Stan

I am trying to figure out what the initial image size in pixels is; and what the final image size in pixels is. But your description doesn't provide this info.
For example, initial image size is 640x480 pixels.
Final image size is 1920x1080 pixels.

Maybe a few example images (see this howto if necessary).
