PEEPER on Instagram: "Physically slicing an image into smaller pieces is one of the simplest ways to understand downsampling, because each fragment retains the large shapes while losing the fine details that disappear at lower resolution. Digital downsampling works the same way by averaging and compressing pixels so the overall structure stays clear, yet the tiny patterns the eye would barely notice at smaller sizes are removed to save space and processing power. Seeing the process physically ma

Heliopause | Kudrat on Instagram: "Look how pasta maker just exposed the secret of digital files.🤫👇 Look closely at the final result! You still recognize the dog—that is the Structure being retained. This proves Downsampling keeps the general composition of the image, even when data is lost.😲 However, the image is completely blocky, or pixellated. This happens because the shredding forced the complex original detail (textures, gradients) into simple, large pixels, where each square represents
