Are you double clicking on the bottom right wire frame to enlarge it so it takes up the whole screen? How long does it take for one of your pics to render? Are you trying broadcast or ultra? Even "Final" image shouldn't be this grainy. You are enlarging too small a pic and making it grainy I think. Try to render a larger image size. If you are, then I'm not sure what the problem is. Too bad, since your pics are greatly improving, now we just need to get the render quality better to show your pics off. Dave
