Cool workaround to get super high res images -- not just for Firestorm, but in the official SL viewer too!

Firestorm QA: Yes, It's Possible to Use Debug Settin...

Wow that's really cool! I have to try that!

cool!

this sounds really interesting, but it looks like the only thing you need to do to get this in your textures is to change to bilinear resampling when you size down. and also possibly that they are mip mapping the 1024 images so they end up looking like 512 and 512 looking like 256

it's all the sampling algorithm

and while there are some advantages to working large and scaling down, you use the wrong sampling algorithm (the default sampling algorithm is designed to "blur" more so text also works) and you lose them, you would get sharper results simply working in the original size.
