Blocky Pixels

[dunezone]

I work for a small magazine and were running a feature on old school games, my question is this. The foreground is going to have a screen shot of lets say Super Mario Brothers. How can I enlarge the foreground image so that the pixels stay blocky and nothing gets smoothed out. The only work around I have for the mean time is using transform and screen capturing the transform before it smooths out the pixels again.

When you resize, set the interpolation method to Nearest Neighbor.

Or you could just create your image whatever size you wanted it, and fake the pixelation using filters.
