hoborg, My images were compressed in Photoshop in jpeg with max quality of 12. They are compressed but the image quality barely went down, I would have put a bmp up but file size was huge. Another vote for the Hybrid it seems. i'm starting to believe the Raytracer is the way to go. For me the speed difference between the two is not enough to make a big difference to me, and if the Raytracer is superior then I'll use that.
