Blurred, pixelated and jagged All three terms exist in both English in Spanish (borroso, pixelado y dentado), but they represent distinct concepts and are not interchangeable. See the following for useful real-life discussions of the concepts: http://www.fotosigno.com/2009/06/04/como-mejorar-una-fotogra... , http://www.internedianos.org/tag/imagen-borrosa/ and http://www.portamenus.com.mx/faq.htm

Pronunciation note: This word is a member of the small group of past participles of the so-called regular (i.e., Germanic weak) verbs in which the dental suffix (-ed) is pronounced as a separate syllable when the verbal root ends in a non-dental plosive. That is, it is pronounced [jag-id], not [jagd] (as in "lagged").

Jagged edges from rotating.

Hello, I am new to these forums, but not new to photoshop or graphic design. As the title says, lately my photoshop has been displaying rotated images with jagged/distorted edges ...

High Quality Zoom, provided by Photo-Lux

Displaying of the zoomed images on the screen assumed that image will be resized (recalculated) in the memory of the PC, and, after that, a resized copy of the image will be displayed on the screen. In many cases a resized copy of the image can contain a lot of distortions - to smooth the jagged edges and to reduce the noise artifacts special filters should be used (smoothing or antialiasing technique).

Jagged edges noticeable on 800x600

... when I render something (only doing single frames at the moment, no animations) onto a size significantly greater than the default 800x600 (such as 1440x900 or 1280x800), jagged edges become noticeable, whereas they weren't noticeable on 800x600.

Blurred

Where everything seen on the zoom-in is blurred and out of focus.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Richard McDorman : But wouldn't that be "borroso" in Spanish? See http://www.howtosayin.com/say/english/imagen borrosa.html

yes, but we're definitely talking a blurred type of effect- jagged is a bit misleading here.

pixelated

My knowledge of these matters is nil, but isn't pixelation usually the issue when the resolation is unacceptably low on modern imaging devices?

Suerte.

neutral Andrew Bramhall : The answer to your question is yes, your answer to the asker's question...maybe.

Right. That is why I posted it with such a low CL. :)
