Exported raytraces become blurry.

[Kriska 1]

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I am having an issue with exporting my raytraces. It takes my computer a long time to produce a large high quality image, only to "export picture" as a .jpg and have it become blurry!

The only way I see to save the clear raytrace is send it to a layout page. How can I save the image to a file without reducing the pixels?

 My output setting are set at:

1500W x 725H at 150 Resolution

-> "Use camera settings

-> "Use ambient occlusion

-> Direct sun 1.0

-> Use photon map

-> no tone map

When you save to a jpg file the pixel size will be the same as your Raytrace setting, 1500 X 725, it does not reduce the pixels. Your resolution setting is not related to the number of pixels in the pic, it determines the physical intended print size. Pixel Width/Resolution = Print Width. In other words your pic is 1500 pixels X 750 pixels no more, no less. If you want a sharper pic you will need to increase your pixel width and height and this will increase your Raytrace time.
