Because everything that I've tried (Paint, Photoshop) has horribly mutilated my 2x2 Amiga screenshots (taken in WinUAE). I have these big, blocky pixels that I want to reduce into single pixels, but they get all antialiased and horrible when I try to put them in their native resolution. Observe:
  Hideous fringes around everything, and blurry to boot. Is there a way to resize them without getting this effect?

You need to use the "Nearest Neighbor" algorithm in Photoshop. Select it in the dropdown below "Resample Image:" In the Image Size dialogue. ------------- |

| And in paint you need to do ctrl+A (Select all) before ctrl+W (Stretch/Skew) :) |

In paint, you can also select everything and then press CTRL + "-" But indeed, you have to select it.  ------------- |
