Body: <p>I have image transforms set up and working well for my site, however I have an issue that seems to be a possible feature request because it is not documented or on this Stack Exchange.</p>
  
  <p>If a user uploads an image that is smaller than the image transform setting, it scales the image up for them to the specified size. However this results in a pixellated image because of the upscale. What I would like to be able to do is only scale down images to the respective transform values, but if smaller, then keep their size, thus avoiding the pixellation and extra unnecessary file size.</p>
  
  <p>Any tips?
  Thanks in advance.</p>

  I have image transforms set up and working well for my site, however I have an issue that seems to be a possible feature request because it is not documented or on this Stack Exchange.
  
  If a user uploads an image that is smaller than the image transform setting, it scales the image up for them to the specified size. However this results in a pixellated image because of the upscale. What I would like to be able to do is only scale down images to the respective transform values, but if smaller, then keep their size, thus avoiding the pixellation and extra unnecessary file size.
  
  Any tips?
  Thanks in advance.
