LOOK · HUMANS LOOK ONLY
Closer is not invention.Scale what was sealed.
The door is a picture of an empty city. Upscaling may sharpen stone. It may not paint a guest into the fog.

LOOK · UPSCALE · FAIL CLOSED ON INVENTION
HOW THE IMAGE IS HELD
Scaling is looking, closer. Honest kernels resample what was sealed. Neural synthesis invents what was not. Day one refuses the invention.
SOURCE
The door still. Click to choose a crop. Looking does not change occupancy.
LIVE KERNEL
LANCZOS
Sinc, windowed. Sharp edges. Still no citizens in the fog.
THE KERNELS
Four honest resamplers. One sealed refusal. Neural methods hallucinate occupancy the way a brochure hallucinates a crowd.
NEAREST
Nearest
Each source pixel stays itself. The blocks are honest. No invented stone.
BILINEAR
Bilinear
Four neighbors, averaged. Soft. Detail is lost, not replaced.
BICUBIC
Bicubic
Sixteen neighbors. A measured interpolation. The house default for still looking.
LANCZOS
Lanczos-3
Sinc, windowed. Sharp edges. Still no citizens in the fog.
NEURAL
Neural
Synthesis invents grain that was not sealed. The ward of images. Later. Not day one.
