Hi.

Is there a bug in Vue 5 Esprit that stops you from saving a rendered image at the DPI setting that it was rendered at?

In my case last night I discovered that after rendering (when I was doing some postwork on an image) that it was 72 dpi (screen res) when in fact I had set it to 300 for the render in Vue.

Upon seeing this I did some Vue rendering tests making sure that the settings were at 300 dpi, then I saved off each resultant image and loaded it up into Photoshop.

In every case no matter what image filetype I saved it off as from Vue, they were nearly all read in and treated as 72 dpi.
A .PNG file came in at a close 299.999 dpi though.  ;-)
The only exception was saving it off as a .BMP which then retained the correct DPI setting.

Weird huh?

With graphics programs I've always saved off files as LZH compressed .TIF files as it keeps quality and saves file space. - But TIF's (compressed or not) keep coming into Photoshop at 72dpi

Now I know about the reasons for rendering for screen and print but I render at 300 for future useage, not to mention little odd bits n' bobs I have for Photoshop useage at 300dpi most notably credits layers and such.

At the moment I'm saving off renders as .BMP's to keep the correct DPI setting.

I'm currently running  version 5.08-02 of Vue 5 Esprit.

Thanks.
