+ | Another of [[Randall]]'s [[:Category:Tips|Tips]], this tip claims that rotating a phone and taking a screenshot too many times will cause an image to disappear into nothingness as it will become smaller than the planck length, and warns the user against doing so. This is absurd because the camera and the display both have limited resolutions. The detail of the original screenshot at the center of the image will be aggregated out as it approaches the range of a few pixels, hence the original image will be lost before it reaches the sub-pixel range. Camera phone users are unlikely to do this, as screenshotting in an incorrect rotation beyond one or two levels already produces obvious undesirable padding and most users will crop it out or refrain from taking such a screenshot. | ||

When scaled all the way down to one pixel, everything except a small amount of data about the image's overall color is lost, making reconstructing the original image impossible. The "[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EnhanceButton enhance button]" for upscaling images is a common trope in movies and television, especially in crime and science fiction stories. |

:[A phone in portrait orientation shows an image of Cueball standing. It is then rotated, showing the image smaller with bars in landscape orientation, then the next phone is in portrait showing the entire screen of the previous rotated sideways, shrinking it every time. An arrow points from each phone to the phone with the next smaller image, until the last one. The labels, at the 9th, 25th, and 101st rotation, show the decreasing size of the original image as it goes through successive rotations.] | :[A phone in portrait orientation shows an image of Cueball standing.
