If you mean that they no longer appear lifesize, yeah, that's what I was
referring to.

I can't follow this (sorry).  Can you break it down into smaller 
pieces for those of us what ain't so nimble-minded?  8-)  I could
respond to what I think you're saying but I'd probably be wrong 
about what you're saying.  I think you're saying that first you take
a shot.  Then you double the distance from the scene, take a new shot,
and then blow up some particular portion of the new shot to match 
the same portion of the old shot.  And your conclusion is that this 
shot is the same as the previous shot?  See, I've messed up.  So what
were you saying?

Thanks,
