Here's a good calculator for image pixel size calculated from width, height, and DPI.

Dermot, SO if I get a 27" monitor it will help in my export image? Also is there a button in Chief that can toggle between full screen image and one with all the tool bars, etc?
I think in Illustrator you can press "F9" and it does that.

No. Your screen size or resolution has nothing to do with the possibilities of the RayTrace output. There is an option to choose the screen resolution for your image but you can also change the output resolution to 5k (or larger) if you wish.

Screen size will help with renderings though. Make it as large as possible, remove your lib. from screen to get even larger, then send to layout.

Huh? No, it won't. Raytrace renders have nothing to do with your computer monitor.
Example: a for print 30"x24" @1200dpi render. An output file size of > 1.4GB. Render times often measured in days, not hours. Now, tell me again how a 96dpi 1080p is going to "help" my render. It won't. Ever. You're comparing apples to pot roast.
However, once the render is complete, having a capable video card and responsive (<= 2ms) monitor will lessen the headaches associated with viewing a file this size.

Jon:
raytraces and renders are two different animals
when using chief's cameras you are creating renders
when you use Phoebe you are doing a raytrace
not sure about exporting to Thea etc but I think those are raytraces also ???
in Chief renders use the video card and the video ram
in Chief raytraces by Phoebe use cpu and cpu ram
in versions X2 and earlier raytraces were done within chief by using POV

sorry for the confusion
Hi guys,
I am sorry for the confusion. I was always referring to the export option, not raytracing. The issue is that I do a lot of export images and was wondering if I invest in a 27" monitor, if that would help me.
Thanks

Yes, it will help with renderings, By exporting, do you mean export to another program? Also turn up your resolution, in the video card, to the max.

export
Yes. I export to Photoshop elements, do some corrections, enhance, etc, save it. Then I open it in Illustrator and do further enhancements.
If you want to see an early example, please check out my working sample attached. I have tweaked since but you get the idea.
I tried with raytracing but its actually missing the "folkArt" I am trying for.
I like the artsy look of rendering as opposed to raytrace.

Very nice, then your answer is yes, a larger screen will make your rendering larger, thus you can reduce its size giving you a better quality render. I have a 40 inch led and can get quite good ones. When I send it to the layout, the render is much larger then a 24 x 36 page . I then just reduce the window size to fit what I want. By sending it larger then what you need and reducing it, better quality results.
