Just to clarify: This is unnecessary. If you want to blow up something, just reduce the resolution. Halving the resolution is all that would be required to turn a 600x600 (1 inch square) 600dpi image into a 600x600 (2 inch square) 300dpi image. The inches measurement should automatically update itself, since it's dependent on image resolution.
