My p4 renders are coming in blurry no matter what quality they are saved at... I'd been told that working big and then shrinking them back down and save for web with a 70-80 quality so I thought they were fine... Just uploaded one to the gallery and it's a pixely nightmare. Can anyone tell me what the heck I am doing wrong? I do my postwork in ps7. They have Never looked this bad posted so I'm really confused.

What I usually do is to save out of Poser as a .tif file, which is a lossless format. Then open it in PS and do any postwork, then save from PS for web. PS's optimising is about a thousand times better than Poser's ;-)

Yes, whatever you do, DON'T save them as jpg, unless it's a quick little diddy you just gotta show someone NOW before you work on with the "real" picture. I would also recomment saving as Tiff as it retains the alpha channel. PNG does too, but I prefer tiff, SOMETIMES my psp can't see poser's alpha in png's.

Wow putting it as a tif makes a huge difference and blowing it up even more than I have helps a ton too... Going to go back and try this same picture saved as a psd and compare between the tiff and psd.... Question is then do I save for web as a gif? I know the gallery here is either jpeg of gif so I would guess yes... just trying to figure this all out. Thanks

Not gif, use jpeg. For this kind of pictures, jpg is the best. And REMEMBER to use the Save for Web and not Save as... when you save it as jpg. The Save As... jpg's are a lesser quality than the "Save for Web" jpg's :o)

the rules are: High colors photographic or rendered images - save as jpegs low colors, line art. - save as gif I think poser art falls into the first category, unless you are gonna do some "toon style" low color images.

If you save at maximum quality JPG, you'll get a much larger file with no visible compression. The file format itself is not bad, just the compression methods.
