You know I tried sharpen just to give it a try and it makes it worse. The data is missing so sharpen can recreate it of course. It was just interesting to me to try all the sizes to see what comes with them, 2400 X 3000 is not a impossible size to render so I guess If I ever need a good print I'll just render it. That will be 8 X 10 at 300 dpi so that's almost max size for my printer. 4 X 5 at 600 dpi. I thought the Vue dpi did something else. I don't need that option I can set the printer to do that already. I can tell it exactly how and what dpi to print at. From 72 dpi all the way up to 2400 dpi. It was interesting from the pont of view as to what is actually going on. Ya I know you can gain a lot by down sizing a image. 31 hours something is wrong man.
Well maybe not I think one I did took 5 days to render 1280 X 1024. I had the setting too high. It turned out of course but I could have rendered the same image at lower quality bigger and just resized it and I bet you would not be able to see the difference.
