Saving Hi-Res image from After Effects
Hey guys,
I have created a logo with After effects and Zaxwerk ProAnimator plugin. Now I want to save it as a hi-res pictures cus I need it for printing leaflets etc.
But I tried to save it as a jpg or a targa, but when I open it in Photoshop, it looks like it’s blown up and it is not sharp enough and in 72 dpi. The edges are quite blurry.
Is there anyway of saving it as a hi-res image in After Effects. When I open my picture in Photoshop it doesn’t really look the same as it is in After Effects. Strange.
Hope someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance,Greetz,

You can render your frames as Photoshop files. That might help.
1. Add to Render Queue
2. Go down to Output Module and click on Lossless
3. Under Format choose Photoshop Sequence (Or TIFF sequence)You may want to also go to your Composition Settings and increase your pixel count. If you create a Photoshop file to the size of your printed piece (Trim plus a quarter inch bleed) at 300 pixels per inch that will give you your size in pixels. You’re also going to notice a difference when you convert from rgb to cmyk mode for print. Check your Color settings in Photoshop to get the desired color conversion you think works best. (If you’re just going to be sending your file to a commercial printer/prepress dept. you may want to have them do that, if you’re not familiar with that.)
Hope that helps!

Along those lines:
(assuming you want to print at 300dpi)
Modify your comp size, calculating the comp size to be 300 X printed size (inches). So if you want your logo to print at 5 inches wide, it needs to be 1500 pixels wide in the comp. So the comp should be 1500 pixels wide plus any space around the logo. That’s the comp you should render to a still.
