All 3 of your pics came up 72 dpi for me. In IrfanView, Thumbsplus and Photoshop. They all say 72 dpi. From what I have found and seen, rendering a pic in 72dpi vs. 300 dpi, makes absolutely no difference whatsoever. There is no set formula for jpg's. I would highly suggest using something to save your jpg's where you have a numerical setting for the jpg quality, not just "Best quality". That's too vague, imo. But, to be general...overall...save at 90% quality. that is usually the overall sweetspot. If artifacting shows, start taking it up to 95%. RARELY will you ever see a difference between a pic saved at 95% Vs. 100%. It takes a lot of straining of my eyes, to see any difference between my own .bmp pics on my hard drive Vs. the jpg versions on Renderosity. Sure, zoom in on contrasty spots, but at looking at it, at 100% zoom, with the naked eye...no difference. AS
