How can I get rid of the pale blue-grey line on PNG?

I've been a Poser user for many years, but am just now starting to learn DAZ/Studio.

There are many things I really like about Studio (or I wouldn't be going to all this trouble), but one of the things I'm not liking so much is that when I render as a transparent background png file (which I do most of the time), there's a bluish-grey line around the outside of the whole figure, which I assume is the anti-aliasing. In Poser the outer edge of my trans-background figures is usually smooth with no visible outer line.

Is there a way to get rid of this line in my Studio renders, and still have a smooth outer edge on my figures?

    Set your Viewport background to Black and try that. Also know that the X Y Pixel samples and render size affect how well it will look once rendered. In other words the Higher your render settings the better it will do. The larger the Image size the finer it will be when reduced. And you can also use De-Fring in PS and some other 2D programs.

    Thanks, Jaderail. I'll give that a go. : )

    Jaderail, thanks for the advice.

    I tried first just rendering the picture at a larger dimensional size, and that took care of the problem, but then I added in the upping of the X and Y pixel samples, and I think that did improve the overall quality of the render, not surprisingly. : )

    Also, I've never used "defringe" in Photoshop Elements before. I didn't know what it did, undoubtedly because I never needed it to defringe anything. Thanks for that pointer. I tried it and it works beautifully! Thank you for that tip.

    Now, If I can just figure out how to turn the working background to black. I know how to do it in Poser, but I've looked all over the place for it in D/S - everyplace but the right one, apparently.

    Yes, I *have* been watching tutorials, but if it's been in there it slid right by me.

    Some of the default Render Settings values (in the Advanced tab) seem to be optimised more for render speed rather than render quality. It's been a while since I fixed my settings, though, I can't remember which of the defaults were the worst offenders — anyone else remember?

    As usual, it's the familar juggling act between getting a nice sharp render, and getting a render before next Shrove Tuesday; some of these settings if you take them too far will make the render time grow by amazing leaps and bounds. :roll:
