How to scale a bitmap in Photoshop without anti-aliasing

adobe-photoshopphotoshop-cs4pixelsscaling

I have this pixely layer which I need to scale 200% in both directions. Since the pixels should be exactly double the size, I expect no anti-aliasing. (fuzziness). However, the newly sized image is all blurry.

How can I overcome this behavior?

Best Answer

cmd + K, then choose at Image Interpolation: Nearest Neighbor

No anti-aliasing will be applied when scaling.
