Cad64 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Are you rendering with Mental Ray? Can you post a screenshot of your render settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spittle Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I know that when printing flyers, the DPI needs to be about 300dpi to be sharp and avoid seeing the pixels. For posters the dpi can be less (google it) because people will often be viewing it from further away. So when you hit render, you need to check your resolution is high enough to allow for the number of pixels per inch that you will be printing at, and for A0 expect a really long render time! You'll probably find Photoshop defaults to 300dpi for the image that it opens and your image resolution is too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
