Okay, so the brain cells are a'leakin' out my ears....for the life of me I can't remember how to render a large scene and have the DPI at 300, I know standard web is 72, but the render is for print....help!?

I would think 200 would be just to much, I was once told that a Jpeg for print would be 72, so I always went with 75 but, seeing some of my images on here very pixelated at a 300 dpi......how large is the print going to be?? Marc

Click on "Render to Disk" in the file menu. That will give you the parameters to set. When you change dpi, you'll change the print dimensions - unless you up the pixels to compensate. Presumably you know the dimensions of your print.

If you'd rather visually render, just remember the pixel settings in "Render to Disk" and chose those. Then change the dpi in your image editor afterward.

multiply the number of inches in each direction by 300 to get the pixels dimensions. For example an 8x10 print at 300dpi would be ([8x300]x[10x300]) = 2400x3000 pixels. You can either do this in render to disk or in he normal document setup tab.

Sorry, my above statement should read "seeing some of my images on here very pixelated. At a 300 dpi how large is the print going to be?" Amended :) Marc

printers normally need minimum of 200 dpi..no matter what the size of the image. render to disc.. you do get the option of choosing the print size by inches..so render it to whatever size you want. if you want the render to take less time..lower down the dpi to 200.. if you can deal with a long time render..render to 300dpi. have fun...

The image won't take long at 300dpi, so that's not a problem, and the printer is requiring 300dpi so lowering it is out of the question...thanks, I totally spaced the 'render to disk' option, off to try it again...
