I know some have been wondering about what pixel sizes do what when it comes to printing out your renderings. Here is the explination, actual sizes, and equation to know for any print job. Hope this clears up the printing issue. The "Why so big?" question, is just a matter of quality. James

Thanks for the info. Are you on a MAC? Poser4.03 resolution settings do work on my PC. -Jeff H.

Thanks .. The 3300 is much different than the 4400 for proportions ...

Jeff, yes I'm on a MAC, and I never checked to see if the patches fixed this.It would be nice just to enter the inch value and then the dpi/ppi directly in Poser. I'll check today. Yes Ghost, the first sizes were just quick examples of pixel differences between 72 and 300, and were just guesses. These new sizes are accurate. Now I hope to see lots of submissions for the Calendar soon, time is running out ;-) James

okay... so does zygote want a 300 dpi 11x8.5" image? or do they want a 400 dpi image? (well, 4400 is 11" at 400 dpi). and is this official? thanks, j :)

Bloodsong, Right now the submissions will be low-res 792 x 612 pixels (or proportunately sized). The winners will have to supply a hi-res 3300 x 2550 pixels 300 dpi. The 4400 pixel was a mistake, and posted before the math was done. James

heyas; aha! okay, i see it now, thanks :) actually, the way i work, it would be better for me to do a high res image, work on it post, then shrink it down. otherwise, i'd have to do everything twice. (not to mention the two versions would end up different.)

egads, I submitted the preview for the 4400x2500 pixel version it asked for on the page, downsized to 800x455 to be proportional and stay under that 800x600 suggested size. I am really bummed because Poser wouldn't render over 4090 pixels in any direction and I had to do all post processing on an upsampled from 4090 to 4400 width image. No way to get those dimensions now without cropping some of the original image out. It wasn't that I couldn't lose some pixels in it anyway but the overall image won't look the same - might be better though, that was a very odd shape to have to fill, especially when Poser couldn't handle a lot of characters and props and render that large. I knew it would print long and narrow, I thought they were going to do some caption or artist story under the images and print at 400dpi from the way it looked when I test printed the image. I don't know what to do now, that image wasn't great, but it could have been better if I didn't have to choke Poser trying to render it so much larger than it needed to be and could have kept to a standard landscape dimension. It being so large made me back off on more props and details in the image to keep Poser from choking which it did twice when I tried to add just one more thing. what to do what to do...
