Need to know

How do I get a Sharpe image (the way it looks after rending) when I save it as a jpeg. The image is blurry. Is there a setting that I am missing or what?

Set quality to 100 and smoothing to 0 when saving it to jpeg.

Do I have that option? I usually click on the little floppy disc looking thing on top left of render window.

Yeah when you select the format as .jpg a dialog box will pop up with 3 sliders and an 'OK' button. It isn't exactly hard to miss.

Ok check it out. I model in Inventor 8. I then import it into max using a plug-in, it lets me import assemblies or parts. After I apply a material to the parts that make up a complete unit, I then go to render unchecked the Object motion blur & Image motion blur. I check and save it to a Jpeg file, pick my view port and render. The image looks really nice after it’s rendered. Then I open Photoshop CS2 and man it is so blurry, out of focus, no sharp edges like in the render window. I really need to get this figured out. I have a client that needs this image to bring to a show. But this looks like Sh*&%. No way will it work. Any Ideas anyone?

Add me on MSN (replace the [at] and [dot] with @ and . respectively) or AIM and I could do the render and materials in Max for you.

Well after a number of tries I got the image to be nice and crisp. Under the jpeg settings I had the smooth all the way up. I moved the slide bar all the way down and it fixed the problem. Man sometime the most obvious things are the hardest to figure out.
Thanks Samuel for your help.
