Since I'm experimenting with an "hybrid" look for a comic, I've tried using Bryce5 for backgrounds, to get something in the mood of the "blue submarine n.6" anime. I'm exporting the images I get in Photoshop, where I scale them down to 300 DPI. Troubles come when I try to set up resolution and size in Bryce... since I need the Bryce-generated image to be bigger in size than the hand drawn page i previously scanned in Photoshop. I know it's a bit of a complex question, but I can only hope the answer will be simple! Thanx!!!

Open your scan in Photoshop, and note the size. Note the actual dimensions and the resolution, or the absolute pixel size (it's less math). Say your scan is 1600 x 1200 pixels (5.3" x 4" @ 300ppi). Render your Bryce image to be at least 1600 x 1200, and you are good to go. FYI: ppi doesn't matter at all until you actually try to print your image. At that point, you will need at least 150 ppi for printing on an inkjet, and 300 ppi for professional printing.

I also recomend rendering to disk so that you can set the DPI rather then having to scale down. Bryce can only render 5000x5000 pixels @ 72 DPI maximum unless you render to disk.

Render to disk can render at higher resolutions?! COOL!! I didn't know that. Thanks
