I've been woefully out of the Vue habit for a few years, but having taken advantage of the current half-off sale for V6, am getting to know an old friend all over again. It's amazing how much you can forget when you don't work with an app regularly!

Rutra, your response is very helpful, thank you for being so thorough with your recommendations. I wonder why you feel that optimizing final render pass decreases image quality though? I admit that I haven't looked to find specifically what the optimization does, and had assumed that it was just fine anti-aliasing, usually a good thing in my experience. What do you see as the advantage of not selecting this option, in terms of image quality?

Thanks,
Dean
