Images degrade quality at a higher scale mode than x1

As the title says, whenever i am importing graphics higher than x1 the image loses details. I am better off importing at x1 and resizing the actors using the Grow function.

How it should look:

How it looks after importing at x2:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/744cauv60sdmyw2/sprite-53-0.png   - This is actually from the x1 folder, the x2 folder looks as it should but ingame it doesn't. I run the game at x1, but when i put it in x2 it looks even worse than the x1. I don't know why is this, if someone could give me a hand that would be great.

Seems like the game likes to use the x1 even if i set it in x2 or higher...

I do face the same issue!

I thought i would give the thread a little bump since it was moved to another section...

Is your question answered here?

Not mine (and probably not his).
Its the opposite.

I do face both issues in fact.

Let me try to explain it in short words:

I do develop / create my images on 2x (not on 4x, which I will do soon).
The image itself on 2x looks really great.

So I do import it on Stencyl.
Its a 90 pixels high character:

So, when playing on 1x (45 high character) it loses resolution.
For that issue the link you paste in here will help. That was a great solution.

But ok... it will solve the 1x lack of resolution.
But now, when I do try to set the game to 2x, it uses the 1x image and rescale it to 2x.
It is horrible.

I did try to explain that using image examples.
Please do check in my Dev Diary:

Thanks.

Rares...
Maybe I can help you out.
I was able to solve that same issue in my game.

What I did write down on my Dev Diary:

Good news: I got the 2x and 1.5 scales mode to work fine on my game.
Dont know exactly what was going on, but I may have a clue.

I did create the game using Stencyl 2.2.
There I was not able to have 2x scales in a correct way. It was really bad and lost all
resolution as I did state before.

Then I did migrate to Stencyl 3.0.
And instead of testing 2x scales again I did try 1.5x scale.
But as my game was created on Stencyl 2.2, it didnt have the 1.5x image on the resource folder.

So I did import my character image again and did try 1.5x. It was perfect.
Then I did try 2x scale... perfect again.

So, all I had to do was to re-import all images again. no big deal.

Only 1x that is not so good, but its regarding Stencyl not being so good to resize the
image to 1x. Will try later to resize on photoshop and overwrite them.

And here it is an before / after images:

After

(I have to re-import the menu / pause file)
