Hello I want to take an image from the screen of a Nintendo DS and blow it
up to HD resolution (1440x1080). I want the pixels to retain their clean
edges. How do I do this?

I read in an online forum to render in 'Draft' mode, but when I do that, the
resulting quicktime does not look like what I see on the screen when I
display my track in 'Draft' mode. It looks like a much lower-resolution
image that has been filtered way down from the original. Any way to render
pretty much what I am seeing on screen in 'Draft'?

This is CS3 I'm talking about.

Thanks

I believe that using "nearest neighbour" scaling method in photoshop to
upscale will create that effect. But for best results your scaling
amount needs to be divisible by 2 or 4, I'm pretty sure ... so that it
retains the same amount of visible pixels but just makes them bigger.

Also there's a filter that can be used to create the appearance of
large pxiels... Cant recall offhand but I think it might be mosaic.
