in dummying up my graphic novel, I am experimenting. I get the screen to show what I want, render it at 1200 dpi and size in inches 2ooo wide x 1.125 and then save the result as an image to my desktop, making a screen cap out of it and then easily import that into Procreate on my iPad, and get a fairly clean sharp image to lay on my layout in Pages. I set the render to cpu fast denoise. what think ye, gang, any suggestions?

my iMac screen has a resolution of 4480x25xx, and the screenshot preserves that Rez, so all is well, I think...

DPI is a printer's terminology. PPI (pixels per inch) is the correct term that applies to saving rendered image resolution. If what you are using is correctly posted, you are looking at a long render time for CPU rendering. I don't understand why you don't just use the exported, rendered image. Screen capture does not yield an optimal, editable image.

Did you compare the resolution between the two images? The purpose of rendering an image is to use it directly from Poser or perform further editing in a 3rd party software for illustration work. The purpose of screencaps is to record information and save it as a reference; they shouldn't be your final version of your work.

Yesireei saved a new one right to a location that I directly imported it perfectly into my editing program for touchups. Thanks for helping me get here

Don, I saw your ticket in support before this. Seems you found a way to get the screen cap out of the work flow. That's good. I couldn't believe there was no way to directly import to Procreate.

Yay!
