Any advice on how to give your images a higher dpi when exporting them from poser 6 after render, say 300 dpi. Thanks Rowlando

Do it before render from Render Dimensions. You can't change it afterwards, within Poser anyway. You'd have to load it into a 2D app (PSP/PhotoShop) and change the dpi there otherwise.

Thanks Rowlando

Use TOTAL pixels, not dpi. Otherwise you may get into a situation where your image is a nice 600 dpi --- but only two inches across. Almost all paint and graphic conversion programs can adjust the display or preferred dpi of an image, and instruct a printer as to how to interpret the pixels into the desired image space. So, in short...look at the size you need and multiply by the dpi you need then render at the resulting numbers, x pixels by y pixels.

Hi Nomuse I think I got what you mean. I want to print the pic to say 20 inches by 30 inches, please explane what I should do in Poser 6 based on your in short example, so this will be possible thanks Rowlando

DPI = dots per inch. In computer terms, this is equivalent to 'pixels per inch'. That means that for every 'n' pixels, there is an inch. If you set the DPI value to 300, then 300 pixels will equal an inch. Thus, to render an image at 20"x30" at 300 DPI: 20" * 300 DPI = 6000 pixels 30" * 300 DPI = 9000 pixels You would set the dimensions for render to: X(width) = 6000 Y(height) = 9000 DPI = 300 I must warn you that I'm not certain if Poser can handle such render dimensions. Even if it can, expect to be rendering for some hours or days!

Added: It must also be mentioned that DPI is only meaningful for printing. If the image is to be displayed on a computer monitor, it has no effect on anything. DPI will only tell the printer at what size to print the overall image.

Thanks so much you have well informed me great help, I do understand. Rowlando
