I want to make a pan up image but the quality is not much. Is there a solution to make the image display in full size (1920* 4361) without pixelating ?

I tried PlayShot plugin. The screenshot with twice the render resolution has some color problems.

While the four times the render resolution is just black.
I think this plugin is good but can anyone help me fix this problem or find a better way to increase the render resolution without pixelating

Thanks guys (SOLVED)

A good resolution (the one I use for renpy) would be 1920x3413.

If you also use renpy for the game, the code for making a vertical scroll would look like this:
Code:
label vertical_scroll_test:
        scene nameofyourimage with dissolve:
            subpixel True
            yalign 1.0
            pause 2.0
            linear 10.0 yalign 0.0
        pause 12.0
And to change the direction of the scroll:
Code:
label vertical_scroll_test:
        scene nameofyourimage with dissolve:
            subpixel True
            yalign 0.0
            pause 2.0
            linear 10.0 yalign 1.0
        pause 12.0

I know the code but the problem is when the image zoom to full size it pixelate so I want to find a solution for that.

I'm not grumpy, I'm just coded that way.

That's right. It was cropped from an image with resolution of (1920*1080) and zoomed to the current resolution
So it will always pixelate, more or less depending of the algorithm used for the zoom, but it will always happen. This unless you initially zoom it with a program dedicated to this, that will compensate the size increase to keep as much as possible the original model.

What program should I use?

It's a good question. I know that one was discussed some times ago on this forum, but I failed to retrieve it. Perhaps that someone else will remember it or know another one.

"Upscaler" software can never entirely create new data out of a lower resolution image.

There are some specialised ones (like this one that is specialised for 8 bit games images) which can get reasonable results under some conditions, but will not work for general images. I also remember reading about a team trying to use machine learning, but the basic information theory prevents getting a truly detailed zoomed image. Unless you live in tv/movie world where they can use "Zoom! Enhance!" anytime they need :p.

You could try taking multiple screenshots in HS: first you move the camera closer to the model, then move the camera up/down to get the parts you cannot see (translate/dolly, not rotate/pan), then stitch the images together in an image editor. It might look a bit strange at the joins depending on the perspective effects of the close camera, but maybe (i don't use HS) you might have a zoom control that takes that into account.

Or you could get a 4K monitor, hack HS to support 4K resolution, and screenshot that way (simple is best!)
