Smooth when scaled up

When Xara LX enlarges a bitmap it usually smooths (interpolates) between the individual pixels to give a smooth look to the bitmap. Usually this gives the best results. However you might not want this effect; in this case uncheck this option. Note that this option only affects scaled up bitmaps. Note also that Never smooth in the View tab of the Options dialog box overrides this check box.
