Something random I made a few days ago. I'm at the library for a little while, so figured I'd go ahead and upload this.
Most of this is just my opinion, but I think it's mostly factual. Although for the highest resolution up there, it is good for displacement modeling.
But I guess resolution really all depends on the distance between polygons. Something that dense is unnecessary usually.
As usual, don't steal, copy, edit, etc.
Want something, just ask.
This is so basic, I don't see why you would. If you want the picture for whatever, I'll definitely let you use it. Just ask.

Well, this is in reference to 3D models mostly. Though there was probably a better way I could have explained it in the description.
I may be very wrong, though I was playing around a bit in the image editor I use.
If you take an image and increase the resolution, no it won't increase the quality of the picture.
Yes technically it will. Like those simple models above, if there are more squares, there's more places to put data.
Or like a monitor. A 1080p monitor will look better than a 720p monitor because there are more pixels in the same amount of space to show more things.
But when you increase the resolution of an image that's already been made, all you did was add "more places to save data", but you didn't actually change the data (picture) that's already there.
The picture has already been made, and by adding more pixels in the same space, the already drawn picture just fills in or overwrites the pixel space it was already occupying.
I don't know if that makes sense. My apologies if it doesn't.
I think this is how it works. Again I could be very wrong. I feel as though there is something I'm missing or not explaining, so I am sorry for that.
But as a short answer to your question: if you save a picture, then go to edit it to increase the resolution, I don't think it will make the picture look more clear.
As for the other question, that depends on the website. In many other websites, saving a picture in full mode or not will download the same picture.
But for sites like FA, it saves several versions of a picture if it's big enough. So a normal view picture is considered the "small" version, but a full view picture will be bigger and have higher resolution.
I think.... Heh, sorry that's a theme with me it seems. This is how it had worked a few times for me at least. They could have changed things by now.

It has been quite some time, but I have an update to this issue.
The term we were thinking of is apparently called upscaling, and with the recent releases of these AI image programs, it's now possible to take a small image and make it bigger / upscale it without it losing quality.
I tried it a little bit ago and it worked just fine. I couldn't find anything wrong with the upscaled image.
I searched "AI image upscaler", and used the first link which was an online upscaler. Took a while to download the finished image though.
Also, if I could attempt to explain what I meant before a little better.
3D models (and vector graphics / vector images) can theoretically scale forever because models are based on code and math.
So no matter how big you try to make it, the math is going to be able to scale along with it and keep up.
But for regular images, they are considered "raster images". The image is set in stone and previously could not be made bigger without quality loss.
If you tried to make a raster image bigger, it would stretch rather than proportionally scale.
Stretched images don't look good because it stretches the lines and everything, and eventually you'll be able to see all the individual squares that made up the image, etc.
It has been a while, but hopefully this newfound solution can help you if you still have the issue of image scaling.
