Yep. I imagine the longer load times for JPEG files is due to the more complex decompression that must take place. What did surprise me when using JPEG TMaps was the quality of the rendering was generally much better than expected. While there was no benefit in using them from a memory conservation standpoint (a loss actually), using them did decrease render times substantially. However, I haven't laid any animation to tape which used them, but I could imagine there could be problems. If not, and you can get away with it in certain situations, it is nice to know you can expedite long render times with no great perceivable degradation. I'll have to try this sometime <g>. BILL
