I am trying to render my first image and for some reason when I render and save it is a very tiny png how do I get real sized renders?

In the render settings under General, check your Pixel Size H & W. This will define the size of the image output.

Based on the fact that it is in .png format, which I am betting you did not save to, I would say you are looking at a render thumbnail and not the actual image.

Where did you save the render?

I do not know were it saved to, it ended up in scenes

Daz's Default image to render to is PNG and all my renders have been PNG (I've felt no need to change it.)

The path and filename are also defined in the render settings under General
The Image Name is the name the file will be given when the render finishes
and Image Path is where it will save the render to.

*edit*
But since you said you found it in scenes, then this is probably in fact the thumbnail for the Daz scene file and not your render.

So I tried it again and it saved to a folder of my choice as a png but didnt look the same as the image I look at in daz it was blurred a bit maybe I did something to make it this way

Probably the Depth of Field setting turned on in the Camera settings?

Ia turned it off, this is in the render settings or cameras lights tab?

The idea being to have the focus be on your main subject with the things much closer, or off in the distance blurred, just like in real life and photography. The trick is getting the camera properly focussed.

3Delight is just the render engine. Can you post an example of what it's doing?

3Delight is just the render engine. Can you post an example of what it's doing?For some reason when I render with 3delight it turns out like she is an inflated balloon nothing like the image in daz, I will upload something shortly when it finishes, does the spec of your computer make a difference with rendering ect?

Is your view set to one of the lights instead of the camera? that could be 1 reason for the out of proportion render.

I always get an error message that pops up when trying to render through a light...

So I thought id go through the tutorials and do the barefoot dancer one and when I go to render it does nothing or saves my file as a jpeg that is just black no render

I got it to render but the image is like a small photo now, how do I make it bigger and like a desktop background sized image?

That was already answered a few posts back:
