exporting rendering to a pict. file

[bgore]

What kind of settings sould I be using to export my renderings to a pict file or jpeg file.

I'am wanting to get the best quality possable but I don't want to have to wait all day for the file to translate over.

Well, I usually export mine at about 2000 pixels x 3000 pixels. This will print nicely on an 8 1/2" x 11" page from an inkjet printer, and it will print well on a large formatt printer at around 18 to 24" wide.

The resolution setting isn't really important to me because I usually adjust this in Photoshop to get the correct physical dimension of the image, so I usually leave it at 72dpi.

Good Luck

I've found that a low resolution such as 72 gives you jaggies on vector objects. 200-300 has worked well.

The important point is to export from VW in low rez and rely on a program like photoshop to resize and print your image. I've found that VW/RW really lags when exporting or especially printing a high rez. file. Another advantage using an outside program to print from is tha ability to keep working in VW. All part of the learing curve.
