Just above the poser forum logo, you will find the Poser FAQ. You can also do a search for Geep, he has great tutorials for beginers. The saved render problem. When you save your render, look at the bottom of the save window. There you can save as a JPG. at what ever % you want. Defalt is at 25%, so it looks bad. Change to 100%. You can also save as a PSD. or Tiff, which I do, so it has an alfa channel saved, better for layers and better quality.
