    You play with words to make seem as if upscaling takes Hamas dude from photo where he is pulling injured out of the crambled building and place him in private jet environment.

    So even if upscaling “recalculate” most pixels it’s based on what is already in picture and doesn’t change the content or context of the pic. By that i mean information given to t he the viewer stay the same.

      If we rely on computers and algorithms to maintain the intented interpretation of data we are setting ourselves up for confusion.

      Showing the regular unenhanced data is key to credibility. Enhancing data, is just a fancy way of saying guessing what the data should look like, and there’s a range of valid guesses. Which puts it right up there with artistic interpretation, courtroom sketches, which have their places. And they should be labeled as such, they shouldn’t be called a photograph.
