I work for a small magazine and were running a feature on old school games, my question is this. The foreground is going to have a screen shot of lets say Super Mario Brothers. How can I enlarge the foreground image so that the pixels stay blocky and nothing gets smoothed out.

The only way I could do this so far is to use transform to enlarge it, take a screen shot and just cut it back out.

Have you tried simply lowering the resolution? see sample..original is very clean at 72 dpi and I lowered it to 15 got very boxy..
