how can i save a render as a picture file. i went to render and it looks good but how can i save it? I checked the options but did not see anything. I am using poser 5.

Assuming it's the same as P4... Click on "Save" in the File menu after you rendered. It will let you save the pic out as a JPG.

Try export in file menu, you can save in several formats.

Thanks for the help

Is it me or does this message sound fishy? You're using "Poser 5" and you know enough to get it to render, yet you don't know how to go to File, then Export, then Image or hit Ctrl-S to save? Of course, this is also covered in the manual. Here are some other commands you may find useful: To open a Poser file (.pz3 file): go to File, then Open. To quit Poser, go to File, then Exit.

I see your point, i post this from work and it just came to me that I was not sure how to and did not have the manual infront of me but i am good now. i know how to do animation files but have never done still shots.
