Assuming that this is true, it is nevertheless possible for a solution to
be far, far more complex than the problem it is intended to solve.

Up to 4.6.2, you get increased image resolution if you import an image and
scale it down, but not if you take a snapshot and scale it down.
I did bug-report this anomoly ages ago. Maybe they fixed increased res on
