To create a scaled copy of the image with a scale factor of 1.5, I will first explain the process and then proceed to generate it.

Process:

1. The current image consists of a grid of colored squares (likely 10x10, as seen from the dimensions).
2. Scaling by 1.5 means each original square needs to be replaced with a block of 1.5x1.5 squares, which in this case is approximated to 2x2 squares to maintain uniformity (since we can't have partial squares in pixel art).
3. The new grid will have dimensions scaled up from the original. For example, a 10x10 grid becomes a 15x15 grid.

I'll generate this image and present it to you now.The scaled image has been created with a scale factor of 1.5. You can download it using the link below:

Would you like further details or explanations on the process? Here are a few related questions for further exploration:

1. How do you calculate scale factors in different contexts (e.g., for shapes vs. pixel art)?
2. What are some practical uses for image scaling in pixel art or digital graphics?
3. How does resizing affect image resolution and quality in general?
4. What is the difference between scaling with different interpolation methods (like bilinear vs. nearest-neighbor)?
5. How do scale factors apply to real-world maps and representations?

Tip: When scaling images for pixel art or low-resolution graphics, it's best to use methods like nearest-neighbor to avoid blurring and retain sharp edges.
