Pixels are actual representations of the amount of light hitting a specific small area on the sensor. Same as silver molecules on real film, but Digital data is quantized, so it is an approximation of the actual value to the nearest quantized level. Scanner or sensor, same issue. The pixels are real. Up sampling is making up pixels. There were no available sensor locations for these pixels. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net All pixels are made up, or artificial. The ones produced in the camera or the scanner are no more 'real' or 'legitimate' than those produced by the computer when more pixels are needed to increase the size of the picture. They are all made up.
