After failing to get my images to upscale and searching around for a solution or at least the answer to the question "is upscaling even possible?", i think its' time to ask the dumb question:

Does imagecache's upscaling work? In other words, if my image is 100px wide and I set an imagecache preset to 500px wide with upscaling allowed, will the image scale up to 500px wide?

Thank you,
Scott
