HI

 

Wondering what is the best format to export a completed rendering if using for marketing purposes (ie) mls real estate listing

 

Thanks

I supply my clients with a JPG file. Also,it's important to save at at least 300dpi to be suitable for printing.

I like to use png files because they are not "lossy" like jpg files.  Depending on what you want to do with the picture, such as put it on a web site or print it out as a poster,  you may want to make it much larger than the current screen size.  Keep in mind that if you make it much larger than the screen that it will take a lot longer to generate and be a much larger file.

thank you all

While PNG files are generally preferred for editing (they allow for a transparent background), a JPG files are smaller which can make a difference if storing a large number of files. In either case, saving as a higher resolution (300 dpi or better) is generally required for print quality.

For a higher resolution image, what you need to adjust is the actual size of the picture. It's worth keeping mind the needs of your client and the type of device the media is being produced for. For images viewed on a phone, a 2k image will look great. But on a TV or large monitor, a 4k or 8k image will look much better. Here's a quick note on image dimensions (in pixels).

• 2K: 2048 x 1080 pixels;
• 4K or Ultra HD: 3840 x 2160 pixels;
• 8K: 7680 x 4320 pixels;
• 10K: 10240 x 4320 pixels.

So, when producing an image in Chief, you can adjust the image dimensions to produce higher quality renders. The bigger you go, the longer it will take.

Experiment by increasing the Export Picture Width. Try an image at 2048, then 7680 and then examine the rendered image and the difference will be noticeable.

For very quick images, just use the Active Window Size. And always export as a jpg or the file size will get ridiculously high.
