Thanks for your help. I feel a little stupid for not trying this before.
I'm not exactly sure what you did here. But, calibre doesn't upscale images. It will downscale them based on the selected output profile. I generally recommend using the "Tablet" profile as it sets the sizes large enough that images will not be resized.

The other thing is that when you do a conversion to the same type, calibre saves the original as "ORIGINAL_EPUB". Any further conversions will use this, not the new file. This is something I always forget as I convert, fix a problem, do another conversion and lose the fixes.
