Rendering status

[Korel_Design]

OK, I did something that caused my rendering timer to disappeared. You know where it says how many passes and how much time has passed. I combed through the Defaults/Preferences and nothing jumped out at me. It is apparently a Global setting because I opened a new plan from a template I haven't used and there is still no status indication. I must have done it while looking for how I can decrease the amount of compression CA gives to the saved JPEG. That's part two of this question. Is there a way to save a rendered image with less JPEG compression or better yet, save as a TIFF?

Here is how you save as a tiff:

 

 

You can also specify the file type when saving a raytraced image using the Export Picture button.

Is your status bar turned on?

The "File Save As" was an easy one. Thank you so very much. I never thought to look there.

 

However, the Status Bar is On and the screen space is there but no text. When I click the Status Bar Off, the screen space goes away. I turn the Status Bar back on and the Screen Space re-appears with no text.

 

Tnx, JK

Is the window that you have Chief open in maximized?

Try hitting the Maximize/Restore Down button in the

upper right hand corner of the window.

Thanks Rich, You're close..... It had to do with my Windows 10 Task Bar. It dawned on me last night that the last thing I remember doing was adjusting the size of the W10 Task Bar. I reset it and the Chief Status Bar returned. The CA Status Bar was hidden behind the W10 Task Bar.

 

I almost feel silly,
