Have you tried saving it as something else like a BMP or JPG?

Yes but they are more compressed then tifs.
When you goto save there is 3 different options ie. save exposed, Save RGBA, Save resampled. Does this have anything to do with the quality? |

It probably won't make a difference but try TGA format. There shouldn't be any compression artifacts as the only type of compression targas support is RLE which is lossless.
Capital C followed by lowercase p will bring up camera properties. Switch your light type to spotlight, area, or point light. |

Ok,,, my thoughts on this,,, shadow,, you play with the properties,,, might want to try shadow maps as to raytrace... or then again set the buffer and get the shadow out and then do it manually if you desire more control. Ok hope i am not confusing you... look up the light properties... will help you. Ok the resampled and exposed are when you play with the rendered image in LW,,, maybe the dark and light settings to get more exposure... or to save out the alpha of the image, you plan to use later in photoshop.
Oh ya as for formats... i use PNG if its for norm stuff,, and either TGA or TIFF for more complex uses. Last edited by kumar; 06-07-2004 at 05:39 PM. |

Try applying Anti-Aliasing on the camera. Go into properties of the camera (hotkey 'p") and set the Anti-Aliasing to whatever desired effect. For every level that you go up the render times go up as well. Hope that helps!
