Hi guys. I got this little problem. When i'm using the zoom function while viewing pixel art at the site, there seems to be this function to try smooth out zoomed images. similar to the one used in windows. Is that a problem with the site, or is it my computer which is playing tricks on me? I remember being able to zoom the double size of the pixels but keeping it sharp. Here is a picture which should describe the problem  |

It's a browser problem, Firefox has been smoothing enlarged images since version 2, and I believe one of IE's latest updates made it start smoothing again as well. So, you're going to have to resort to another browser or program if you want to try to lose the smoothing. I know some people here use 2 browsers, one specifically for viewing pixel art. |

| Thank you. Well that sucks pretty bad. Shouldn't it be possible to make a new zoom function to the site which is more standalone from the regular firefox-zoom-code? |

| While IE is almost always the worst option, it does at least let you turn the picture smoothing "feature" off, in advanced settings. |

Holy crap in Firefox 3.6 Beta 4 the "Goo'y" is gone. Edit: in the gallery at least. :\ ------------- No zombies here |

It's called Bilinear filtering. We've talked about this. FF3.6 has an implementation in the CSS to change the smoothing algorithm. |
