you're blind then, the first image has much sharper colored edges

[Akio]

If Google is able to take down timewarner or comcast then they should do it

please

comcast is destroying my e-life

"Let's change my display settings and think people can see it on their displays"

I zoomed in on the images and they're the same; same antialiasing, some color distortions, etc

[Ipquarx]

I zoomed in on the images and they're the same

they're actually not, they're... a little bit different




Just barely though. Like, the difference is almost nonexistent.

It's such a slight difference even when zoomed in. I'm not sure how you would notice that at normal size assuming that's what you did.

[Headcrab Zombie]

OK you can see a difference if they're side to side
But that's it
Looking back and forth at the two without having them both there, they're not distinguishable
Especially at normal size

again,

Subpixel order. It looks odd to me as well because it's not RGB.

idk the original really hurts my eyes
i'll admit that my edit was pretty piss poor though, i just used an image editor for it, so it's not a good comparison point

[Cybertails1998]

the difference is subtle, but just visible enough to look wrong

[SteveJenkins]

I can see the difference too, original is a little too bright

Whenever your scale something up past 100%, you're not comparing the image anymore, you're comparing the software's scaling algorithm. If you didn't choose a scale factor that's a power of two, it's going to be really off as the software has to do funky interpolation things to make that fit. Even if you did choose a power of two, it's still likely the software messed with it, rather than simply go "one pixel at 100% equals four at 200%, and done"

tldr; scaling things up not only magnifies things you wouldn't normally see, but also produces defects that weren't there in the first place.

I got a survey on what I was watching. I picked blockland
