Go to "Animation" setup pull-down in Poser Set Frame to X & Y value you want (like 2048x1536) Set Frames per second and Frame count to: 1 Go to "Make Movie" setup Sequence type: Image Files (for a single still frame) Resolution: Full Quality: Current Render Settings (Or Display Settings in the case of cartoon mode rendering) Frame Rate: Use this frame rate "1" Click O.K. Dialog comes up and asks "Save As" I use PSD because they have better loss-less compression, saves the alpha channel for post-work use, and because I always use Photoshop anyway. I personally never use TIF for anything, ever. If you render a still at 2048 x 1536 it is very good quality and can be rez-ed up further in Photoshop to double that resolution with little quality loss (maybe apply sharpen as needed) and you have a "print quality" cel of Anime Doll. Poser supports up to 4072 x 4072 I think as a MAX render rez, which would be good for really big Poster work. I use this a lot in my own work. Never animate anything except for website graphics. Anime Doll should work great using the SWF output in Pro-Pack. Some people don't like the SWF output from Poser, but it can look pretty good if you spend a little time tweaking the settings. Cel type output should cause the least amount of tweaking problems because it already has a reduced color set
