Hi!
An odd question. I work with tissue sections and sometimes I have to
zoom in digitally to get a good look at some microvasculature. When I
zoom in normally (my pictures are 8Mb TIFF files, 36 bit depth taken
with SPOT2 camera) I get rather quickly pixellation, loosing at the same
time some detail. I tried some deconvolution, gaussian smoothing and/or
unsharp mask, without a lot of success. What I need is not a labor
intensive (and admittedly more accurate) method to get rid of my pixels.
What I am looking for a what I have seen once on SGI where, while
zooming in, the pixels would "split" so that the apparent smoothness
would be preserved. This is especially important when printing such king
of photos.
So, is there a plugin (I could not find one) or a easy macro that would
help me with this problem?
