This is probably a stupid question even for my standards. If i find a image on Google that is 341 x 337 is it possible using some form of program on Gimp or a stand alone app to magic the image size to make it so it doesnt lose quality when scaling it.
Think this isn't possible.
Thanks
Bitmaps always loose quality when scaling. The more you scale the greater the loss of image quality is likely to be.
Thought so I suppose you can trace it to a vector graphic

It can be easy to trace if it is a simple image like a logo with just a few coloiurs. Not so easy for complex images like photos with thousands of colours.

Inkscape has an auto tracing tool.
