Re: Windows Photo Gallery: Extremely bad quality zoom feature

Hi ShocWave & Dave, I have the same problem.

In XP when you opened an image to preview it, and zoomed in, it would do
realtime optimization to remove the pixellation, giving a nice
Photoshop-esque realtime enlargement on-screen.

In Vista's Photo Gallery viewer, it pixellates the image horribly when
zooming into the preview. Is this by design and is there any way round it?

I would have thought with all the Aero image trickery going on, they
wouldn't remove a feature like this that was in XP.

I have tried the latest NVIDIA drivers from Microsoft WHQL (Jan-07) and
direct from Sony (Mar-07) and all of them do this. I have a VAIO laptop
with the GeForce Go 7400 graphics set.
