You can scale an image to make it larger or smaller, but you can't create pixels out of nothing; if you scale it to have fewer pixels, then you're losing detail, and if you scale it to have more pixels, then you have to guess at the value of the new pixels by averaging nearby pixels. Both of these tend to make the picture look more blurry.

The picture will become finer. Your picture is made up of dots called pixels. Pixels are created from resolution for example 640x480=XXXX amounts of pixels. So when you create more pixels by increasing the resolution to say 1024x768=xxxxx amounts of pixels you increase the pixels amount and finess of the image.

How big is 256k in picture size?

The 256k does not actually relate to a picture size, just how much data is in the picture. This is how many pixels there are (how many tiny squares of data make up the picture). This means that if you enlarge the picture, the pixels become more apparent (the image looks like it's made up of squares) however the amount of data (k) in the picture has not increased. If you decrease the size of the picture, the same number of pixels remain (but you can't see individual pixels). Only if you crop the picture, some pixels will be deleted so the data content (k) will be smaller. But (k) does not give a specific picture size. Hope that helps.
