Once an image has been digitized in a frame grabber, there is a finite 
amount of information present in the digitized image.  In this sense, 
we are equating resolution with information content.  No amount of 
additional processing can add information not present.  That is, you can 
add useful resolution.  Zooming with interpolation may make the image 
better for viewing for some purposes, but it does not add information.
