Hi [USER=126614]@polarwoc[/USER]

No question that Gigapixel helps some yet less than you may think.  In the attached image, all I did was increase the size of the image by 6X (same as I did in Gigapixel) using the default enlargement rendering  of PS and then apply the Threshold Adjustment Layer.  Very similar results.


Part of what gets in the way (from my understanding) is that the eye brain combination is an excellent edge detector  and so our eyes see the edges (pixelation) very well and it interferes with the cognition of the letters (the edges are distractors).  So any higher resolution blurring and then sharpening makes it easier to read especially if you are viewing at larger magnifications.  It helps to see whole words and ignore the imperfections.
