Quote - I have Poser 7, and when I render the images look clean and crisp. I save by export then image, I choose jpeg then save. I keep the compression at 75, which I'm told doesn't really affect much unless your printing. But when I view the saved render in my pictures folder it's slightly pixelated, and this has been happening for as long as I can remember. I just don't get it, the finished render looks fine in Poser. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm not that knowledgable with the technical aspects of Poser

Compression on JPG does affect things if it's set too low.  Poser appears to have very aggressive compression, and 75 is way too low. IMO, it sort of butchers the image.

Personally, for a compressed JPG out of poser, one suitable for online use, I use compression of 98 or 99.

In photoshop, OTOH I use level 8 or 9 (out of 12) for similar results. Unlike Poser, in Photosop you can go to a pretty low setting without butchering the image.  Yes, not all jpg compression algorithms are created the same. Go figure.
