Yes, there's a problem with the way Poser handles dpi settings but that is still easily resolved by changing the dpi settings in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro and it doesn't change the fact that if you render a small image with a large dpi, you're going to wind up with a correspondingly small print. Frankly, I've never much bothered with setting dpi in either Poser, or Vue (which, btw, if you set to 300dpi, it's still going to save as a 100dpi image). I saved that for when I started postwork. As long as I knew what I wanted the original printed size to be, all I had to do was set my render dimensions for that size in pixels, which is the print size in inches multiplied by the dpi; if you were doing an 8x10inch print, you'd set your render dimensions to 2400x3000 pixels then, bring the results into PS or PSP and change the dpi settings. I know how to do it in Photoshop without having the image resampled but I'm not sure how to do it in PSP.
