not really imageJ, but how to stop smoothing in Powerpoint

[John Alexander-7]

Hi group,

I use powerpoint to show my images etc, and recently noticed that if I
want to "blow up" a small region for easier viewing, Powerpoint takes
the liberty of smoothing the image.  This is particularly worrisome
because it gives the impression that the image is at a much higher
resolution than it really is.

So I was wondering if anyone knows how to disable this "feature".  I
basically want to keep the pixelated nature of the blown up region.

By the way, I do the "zooming in" in ImageJ and copy/paste it into
powerpoint.  So, if I copy a 20x20 image from imageJ, paste it into
powerpoint, then drag/expand the image to make it easier to view - it
isn't pixelated but all nice and smooth.

Hi John,

In ImageJ scale your 20x20 image to a 200x200 image without
interpolation, before inserting it into PowerPoint.
