JettBoy, When you go under "make movie" to get to those settings, be sure that you have limited your animation to 1 frame. Rendering 30 frames at several thousands of pixels each will take time, even in cartoon mode. ;^) As for the other point about DPI... "dots per inch" is vital in printing art. I had 23 pieces printed (pen & ink, watercolor) and sold them for 16 years at F&SF conventions, as well as working professionally doing illustrations and covers and such. This gives me some background. If image quality matters to your client, it ought to matter to you. With today's digital delivery, a client may specify the image size in pixels: my last CD cover was 1425 X 1425. If you get a nice clean spec, smile and be thankful. You can decide at time of printing to diminish quality by reducing settings... however you can never satisfactorily add missing data. For this reason I fervently second the point above about not working in jpgs. In order to compress the image, the details are smeared and colors lost. This can never be regained. There are reasons for saving as a .jpg when you are done (web broadcast is a good example), but always save a copy in your non-lossy working format (tiffs or pngs or even bmps). If it is worth your time to do right, it is worth your time to preserve it! Carolly
