I agree, for quality sake, to save maps as a tif. I now regularly save my renders from Poser as a tif file and after I've done all my post work and special effects, save both a tiff version and then a jpg version for posting to galleries. When posting to any gallery, I've found a program called JPG Wizard incredibly handy for cutting down file size without a terrible loss in quality (since the original pic came straight from a tiff file.) I'm still wondering where the quality function is in Paintshop, if anyone knows, please let me know. Elizabeth Pope Dreamspinner Inc.
