I've made a figure (kind of), and want to export her to PSP 9 to see if I can play there. However, the exported file is very blocky, even tho' I'm using the highest quality JPEG. Would exporting it as a psd file be better? thanx in anticipation .......... you're gr8 folks for helping a newbie like me (nothing like a bit of schmooze)

Go into your render options and up the dpi that might help and I always render it in a new window and at 300dpi and larger then I want to get a better quality. you have to play with it.

Make sure anti-aliasing is turned on.

If you render at 300dpi then you may find the file too big to cope with and you won't be able to upload to here because it'll be too big. Stick to 75 dpi for now. I don't understand when you say you've "exported" to psp. When you render an image you would normally do a "save as" and then put the jpg somewhere and then open it from within psp. You really shouldn't have a blocky image if you're rendering correctly. As a thought, have you used "draft" or "production" when you render. If you've used "draft" which is the default poser setting then that could be your problem. You need to make sure that you have selected "production". This is a mistake I made as a beginner. Good luck, if you need to know anymore let me know!

thanx everyone for the great advice - when I've made a decent fist of it I'll upload my file. I'm more than grateful for any tips etc. Poser is a completely different concept from psp I guess - but everyone has to start somewhere I reckon. Back to the drawing board. cheers

I render at 2000 x 2000 then save as a tiff file, gives you more scope. Jack

I render at 1500 x1500 then save it as a bmp, do postwork, then resize image to maybe 1200 x 1200 then do a batch conversion and save it as a hi res jpeg, I uses PiantShopPro 9 and Photoshop CS.

Saving as a tiff will definately help you.

thanx everyone. I'm going to copy and past this thread and print it off - then I can follow the advice much easier - this ol' brain doesn't work quite as well as it used to, lol
