You just don't know what you are talking about.
If you take a 4 pixel image and double it, it will
look quite different than a Photoshop image which
has been interpolated. Both are 8x8 pixels which
quadruples the pixels but the images look quite
different. There is a lot of difference between
enlarging a 4 pixel image and a regular photo size,
even 640 x 480 pixels. To get a 4x6 print at 300
ppi you'd have to multiply a 4 pixel image by
8548590394589034 %.

I know you're pulling my chain. There isn't anyone
on the internet that doesn't know that Photohop does
a better job of enlarging images than just doubling
pixels. : -)
