Check what setting the Smoothing option is on in the Jpeg setup. I recall a problem whereby the smoothing was set to the maximum by default. It just makes the picture blurry. Turn smoothing right down and save.

hi samab, i think there´s no smoothing activated.

Well , same here , but is not only pointing to .jpg , .tga results are the same .
rendering with 3dsmax design 2010 .

Solution :

in my case , opening the file on 3ds max design 2011 , and rendering to the format
needed , then all correct .

Do you all have the latest Service Packs and Hotfixes installed?

yes, all up to date. even in 2011 i get the same result. it is most obvious when you have red color against black background.

I think that smoothing thing happened in 2009.
I tried it with 2011, comparing images in RAM Player with A/B split screen.
PNG and TGA had no noticeable difference, as one wouls expect with lossless formats. The best quality Jpeg was a little softer, but not horrible, just as I would expect from Jpeg compression.
But, when I compared the Jpeg from Max with a Jpeg from PS, the PS one was a bit better.

yes, that´s what i have noticed too. so, i´ll render to png and convert it in ps...

I just compared the PNG with the PS Jpeg. There was no significant difference, unlike the Max Jpeg.
So it seems that Jpegs from Max are not as good as those saved in PS.
