Of course, the paint program needs to be the type that doesn't
interpolate when scaling an image 8 times larger. The nicer programs
interpolate by default, and often have no way to turn it off. Older
versions of simpler programs like LView Pro (windows software) will
scale an image upward without interpolation.

Hmmm, I wonder if interpolation is the correct term to use when
talking about up-sizing an image? Would the more technically correct
term actually be extrapolation? It would seem that way to me, but I
have never heard anyone refer to it like that.
