How Do I determin file size for rendering? 2003-12-29 - By Frank Patnaude

Height and width are both in pixels.
To convert to inches, that uses the printing designation dpi or dots
per inch. In the case of a bitmap graphics file (which is what is
created when you render), it is pixels per inch.
A computer monitor is 72 dpi.
A fast printout is 25 dpi.
A draft printout is 50 dpi.
A good printout is 75 dpi.
A quality printout is 150 dpi.
A high quality printout is 300 dpi.
A superior quality printout is 600 dpi.
For example, if you wanted to print out a rendering at a quality
printout using the size of a standard photo (4"x6"), then you would
render it at 600 x 900 [(4 x 150) by (6 x 150)]. That same picture at
300 dpi would be 1200 x 1800 [(4 x 300) by (6 x 300)]
Most of the time, the human eye cannot determain between a high quality
and superior quality printout. You can always go higher in dpi, but
very rarely is it required. I tend to use a quality printout of 150 dpi
and I occassionally use a high quality printout of 300 dpi if there is
enough detail that is warrented.
Hopefully this helps.
