Oi .. okay I am not sure if I am following right .. but .. you render at 72 ppi .. then you take the bmp into your image editor and tell it to resize just the ppi ? I use to do kind of the same thing I think in Photo Shop ..I would start a file in PS , a blank new file, set at the size and ppi I wanted .. then I would render the Bryce image at the right size but of course 72ppi .. then I would take the bmp into PS and select it , copy it and paste it into my 300 ppi file .. Seemed resonable to me LOL but then I was told that this would not work .. the image was just being resampled and that it would degrade in Print ;-() .. I promise I am not trying to be a pain here ;-) .. I really want to understand this because if there is anyway I can skip the render to disk thing I want to know .. ends up when I render to disk that I can not use my puter while it is rendering , otherwise for some reason Bryce becomes unstable, crashes and I end up losing the render .. it a major problem for me because I only have one putter..
