And here's the 300DPI version. I dont' know if it will fit, hope it doesn't ruin anyone's web page! The actual render turned out clean enough for my tastes, but at the previous image's .jpg compression level, it would have been 700K+, and too big for the forums... So I compressed it down a bunch. I use a program called Riptide for image converting, it supports any and every image-file type, ever. It also let you reverse-compress (mathematically) images, meaning I can set the desired Kb range and it will compress it to that exactly. Unlike many programs, it actually has a full 8-bit slider (256 levels) for .jpg compression, a useful tool at times. But where's the happy medium? To bring out the material details, should I just take a different shot completely? Or perhaps a more-foreground rock structure? It's not going to be a gallery image for me, just a large panorama print for my bathroom, but I'm wondering if even 300DPI is enough...? Or too much...
