The two images below are sections of the same image rendered at different resolutions.
- The blurry one to the left is rendered at 600x350 and then cropped to the section shown here. So there is no scaling or other processing of this image except cropping for the sake of clarity.
- The sharp one to the right is rendered at exactly the same settings except for the higher resolution of 1200x700 then down-scaled and cropped to the same size as the first one.
I'm fairly new to blender and 3D-rendering in general so do not understand why the first one is so blurry when the scaled one sharp. Can this be fixed and in that case how? I thought that the imgages would be rendered as sharp as possible for the given resolution. But in this case that is obviously not the case.
Is there some switch or slider or property that should be adjusted to get it right? Or is this behaviour to be expected?
I'm running blender 2.80.42.
