Scaling pixel art
Wednesday, August 3, 2011 - 13:27
Hi all, and especially the creative minds that came up with this site which is what the OSS gaming has always needed. Now bluntly to the business; while browsing the pixel art it would be very nice if there was an option to scale the preview images (2x per step, no AA if possible. Although I think not all browsers support that?) like they do on sites like http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php. Currently it's very hard to see the pieces as they were meant to be (usually they look the best when scaled 2x or more times) without downloading them and doing the scaling locally.
It might not look like it's a big deal, and certainly there already are ways to zoom on images on most browsers, but it's the sum of all these little details that make a difference between a usable site, and a site that is really pleasant to browse and that makes you want to come back often. Flatlander is totally right, scaling options for pixel art would be neat.

A simple solution could be that we as artist/contributors make bigger previews.
