I actually see little pixilization in the images you have here. The tips give above are all excellent ones. I've been saving in tiff format for three years now after discovering that jpg is a 'lossy' format, and I reserve that for the posted image only. There are some other tricks to improve the initial image, to get the most out of the Poser program to begin with. One is rendering at a higher dpi (dots per inch) than the default 72 dpi found in both P4 and P5. This does make a difference in smoother figure outlines and preserving texture appearance. In P4, I typically rendered at 300 dpi. With P5 and Firefly, I use 150 dpi. Also the settings on your shadows in your lights section can make a vast difference in quality of the final product. Most lights you'll find will be set with the shadow map being 256. I typically use 1024, 2000, or 3000 for the shadow map. These sizes, particularly with Firefire will take quite a while to render. I suggest checking out the lighting tutorials by geep. Liz
