Quote - Regarding the lack of clarity in P7 (Ben_Dover's comment)... have you checked your texture filtering settings in the material room? Rather than one single setting in the render settings (which was turned off by default on P6), each texture map used by P7 can be individually selected for texture filtering; it's now a choice on the image map node settings. Annoyingly for some, it's default position is now 'on'... and this can lead to blurry, ill-defined images and loss of clarity in the details.

before you get mad at texture filtering check your Min. shade rate. it should be 0.2 or smaller for good detail... i believe it defaults to 1 in P7 where it defaulted to 0.2 or 0.5 or something like that in P6.

also remember texture filtering in P7 is not only in a different place than P6 but is implemented in a different way. so the fact that it is on in P7 does not lead to exactly the same issues as having it on in P6.

thats not to say you shouldn't turn it off when you feel you need to. just don't jump to the conclusion that this will solve your problem. although it might
