Forgive me if this is a silly question, but... I noticed one of the contests currently available requires a high-resolution (300dpi/4200x5100 min resolution) render to enter. Presumably this is so a print of the piece can be made eventually. I don't have any experience with digital art brought into the physical medium, thus my question... Now, I don't know if it's just my computer or if everyone has this issue, but I can't convince my P6 to DO renders that high-res. The absolute highest setting I can squelchout of it is 3000x5000(300dpi) with only one raytrace bounce, textures turned way down, and the bucket size reduced to 12. (And that's a very hopeful statement - it hasn't actually successfully COMPLETED that render yet - I'm afraid it will take days.) Does anyone else encounter this problem? If so, what have you done to circumvent it? Can I use a 3000x5000 raw Poser render and resize it in Photoshop to the requirement without losing too much quality?
