[JAVA2D] Question on enlarging an image

[Randy Curnutt]

I wasn't able to locate an archive to search so apologize if this is a duplicate question. I am using an AffineTransform to make an image larger.  Unfortunately the image is blurred and not sharp or crisp as the original. I use the same scale both for X and Y.  Is that correct? I'm going to paste the code below.      transform.setToScale(scaleX, scaleY);  AffineTransformOp op = new AffineTransformOp(transform, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR);  Graphics2D biDestG2D = biDest.createGraphics();  biDestG2D.clearRect(0, 0, scaledWidth, scaledHeight);  op.filter(biSrc, biDest);  bufImage = biDest; Is there a way to enlarge an image and keep the quality of the image?   TIA for any help you can offer.  This seems like it should be fairly straight forward and I just can't get it to work.
