Yeah, Deviant Bunny is right :) I found out where the problem was, smacked myself in the noggin for being a doofus and came here to thank everyone for responding and giving me advice on this :)

Okay, here are the print screens in order:

Yep, I've installed the latest service pack. I've tried doubling the size of the render for png file format, but I get a warning that it'll take too much time, so I scrubbed that. I'm getting really sick of these problems when I've spent so much bloody money on the program sigh

Someone did mention before, though, that they can be saved as .tiff files and then do something with the alpha channels.... I don't understand how that works, so I guess I'm going to have to figure it out.

Thanks everyone :)

I tried your suggestion and it still downsizes it to 3 inches tall, instead of the 10 at 300 dpi. Instead of saving the 72dpi that I wanted it rendered at, it rendered it at the desired dimensions, but at 28 dpi. This is nuts.

I tried it your way and it downsized it to 28 dpi and again, half the desired size sigh I'm not getting anywhere with this program. I'd go back completely to Poser 5 except it doesn't work as well with V4 and all her stuff.

If I render at 72 and want my picture to end up being 10 inches tall, then I just render it at that size and resolution?

ahhh thanks, Clint. I had noticed the change in layout, but hadn't realized that's the link I needed :) Thanks!

G Yep. Can't trust my addled brain to retain it!

You know what's stupid? I found that about six months ago and wasn't smart enough to write down where I found it LOL Thank you SO much for reminding me :)

ah, okay! thank you!

Thank you so much, Rick and Tres...I think my problem is that I'm trying to bring them up in a HUGE window of 2048 x 2048...never even thought of making it smaller, first L

Well, it definitely gives me the knowledge that I've got a lot to learn LOL thank you for the info

I'm kind of confused as to what UF can do with Apophysis' fractals...so far I've only been able to subtly change colors and completely flub up the original fractal L

I finally was able to give this a shot, but for some reason UF says that it can't find the file....when I save the Ap fractal as a .ucf <?> , UF says that there are errors in the fractal and won't open it :(

Mike, I've got two posted in Poser as backdrops and two here....'Galactic Traveller' and 'Swamp Gas' have two of my UF fractals...
