Ok..so there is a reason why i took photoshop classes..and grumble at my stock agency guys. Render to disc.. 72dpi..not a bad idea..only if you want to keep it on yr comp. If you increase the dpi (pixels per inch).. you will get a very pixelated pix as there isn't enough info available for the image to fill in. If you render to disc.. you can change dpi as well as image size.. there isn't a hassle in that..when you do that render to disc option thingummy. If you print.. most printers like 300dpi ..required amt. Bryce gives you only two options..bitmap or tiff. Tiff is the best option.. it's a highest quality type file..and I think once Zhann asked that question.. jpeg or tiff. It's strange..but I've realized bryce tends to fill in the info required while rendering. Dunno how. Rule of thumb that i keep.. and it works.. to print..render to disc.. whatever size you require..at 300dpi. Be careful..sizes are huge. My file sizes are normally nothing less than 108 megs per image. To just use on the web, etc.. render on screen..72 dpi..it's ok. Another rule of thumb any one the digital world will tell you..you can downsize dpi and increase image size. You can never ever upsize image size without decreasing dpi..if you want a good quality image. You can never ever increase dpi. Bloody shame..true..but it all has to do with pixels and color storage info and all that stuff that makes color management classes so darn interesting..
