Hello! I am new to this program, coming from poser 11. I am having a bit of trouble figuring out how to make a good render of high quality without it being a huge file. I usually render my pictures in poser 11 as 8in x 11in at 150 resolution. What would the equivalent settings be in DAZstudio? Pictures or step by step would be grand!

In DS you use the Render settings under GENERAL you can select DEMENSION/CUSTOM. DS renders at 96 dpi and I don't believe there is a way to change that but you could just render at 150x8=1200 and 180x11=1650, So your render size would be 1200 x 1650 or you could just use 96dpi to get a physical print size of 8x11 which would be 768x1056 in the render size settings. But I usually render things at a higher resolution and resize in photoshop which seems to work better.

Studio does not set a DPI on rendered images. Any DPI you see when viewing an image is a default value the viewing program is adding.

Nothing renders at a PPI value, it's just a number added to the front of the final output to say how big a pixel should be. DS leaves the value blank, so your viewer or editor will assign its default - usually either 72 or 96.
