I was just wondering what the recommended resolution (dpi)is for print renderings is. I think that rendering at 300 dpi is a bit excessive so is there a resolution that is some how falls somewhere in between quality and rendertime? Also does anyone understand what exactly the image size dialog box does in the output tab of the render room? Sounds like a silly question until you start messing around with the dpi settings and it seems to scale the input image size (in pixels) dependant on the dpi entered. It would make sense if I could input the image size in inches but if I enter a 1000x1000pixel image at 300dpi then it renders at a different size. Only 72 dpi gives me what I am expecting. Thanks
