I make my images in poser and import the background etc then copy that to photoshop. Then to get good detail i have to make the images much larger to add this detail, like to the hair. However when i change the size back to its original and my desired size , the image is more blurry and doesnt look as good. Please help me, can i get around this. Thanks in advance.

I would keep the image the same size and zoom in to do the detail work.

If you do that though, the brish strokes are much to big to get the desired affect that is needed.

Try rendering at the larger size you need for postwork, then resample it down to the size you want the final to be. Thats what I do anyway. Hope this helps. Rich

The reason your get a blur is that when you increase the size you take away pixels that can then not be replaced when you later reduce it again. It is better to render as large as possible and reduce not enlarge, reductions don't lose out on pixels, and they look better. You cannot add pixels that are not there when enlarging, thus the blurring.....make sense??

Yes Rad is right Dwight.....What I do is render large my characters in Poser like 1000 to 1600 in Poser with no background imported...I than save and open the file in Photoshop and do one of two things either open the background image I want to use and copy paste the poser image into it as a layer or click on the poser background and paste everything from the background image into the poser image.....then when done with the post work I try to resize it down without losing too much detail for viewing....;)
