Size Blurring
Hello Scratch Community! I am here to look for an answer to whether an image blurs if you change its size using the (change or set) size block to alter its dimensions rather than redrawing the whole image over again in the paint editor.
Real problem: I have a sprite I want to make bigger. I don't want to increase size with paint editor (makes uneven lines). What blocks do I use to increase the size (without possibly blurring the image).

Re: Size Blurring
The chnge/set size to blocks only blur online because of one of those java player bugs. When you run the project in the offline player, it should just change the size without the blurring.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

But do the changing size blocks make a sprite, which uses that block, blur?
If you start with a small image and then try to expand it with the size block, the image is going to look a little blocky. Another approach is to start with a bigger image, then use the size block to scale it down at the start of the project. Then, when you scale it back up as your project runs, it will look as good as when you first made it.
Even so, any time you use the size block, the computer has to make adjustments to the image to fit it to the new size. Sometimes it makes adjustments that don't look that good. If you want complete control, make different costumes at the different sizes you will be using and switch to them so you don't need to use the size block at all. That can be a lot of work though
