Increasing the resolution of an image in Krita involves enhancing its pixel density, effectively making it larger and potentially sharper. This process is particularly useful for preparing low-resolution images for printing or displaying on high-definition screens. For instance, a small icon originally designed for a website might need to be enlarged for use in a poster; this necessitates increasing its size without introducing excessive pixelation.
Enhancing image resolution offers significant advantages. It allows for reusing existing assets across different media, preserving detail when enlarging graphics, and improving the overall visual quality of digital artwork. Historically, this capability was limited by processing power and algorithmic sophistication, resulting in blocky or blurry results. Modern software, including Krita, provides more advanced interpolation methods that yield substantially better outcomes.
