      Hello all,

      I am hoping to find some way of exporting jpgs with heavier profiles and edges. It seems that even with the "profiles" and "depth cue" settings turned on, my exported renderings are not as bold as they need to be for illustrative drawings.

      I know it isnt going to come out like an illustrator vector drawing, but Im hoping there is some plugin that will make the exports pop more in an assembly manual type setting.

      Thanks

      Brandon

        When you say you've used "profiles" did you alter the settings at all? I usually have them set at "2" and it seems to work quite well.

          Profiles can vary from 1 to 20 pixels, obviously exporting images at larger resolutions produces thinner edge/profile lines as these are in pixels !Capture.PNG

            That answers my question...thanks so much. I like to export at hi res, like 8000 wide, so it makes sense that the lines are so light.
