The export of ZBrush Photoshop CS5?

Hello, everyone.

I'm relatively new to digital and completely new art on Photoshop.  I use a trial version of CS5 to see what kind of options it is also I am trying to develop a rational workflow.  I want to graphic design that can be used in a CafePress shop to what large posters (23 x 35), to t-shirts, to the case of small iPod.

I start by creating a basic 3-d model in ZBrush 4.  I sculpt the model, he poses and do some base polypainting.  Can I use the screenshot of Windows 7 (x 64) utility to save a .png image.  I use the AutoTrace feature in Serif DrawPlus to convert the .png in a vector image.  Then, I build the basic 'scene' on layers of DP.  My plan is to export a large bitmap (23 "x 35" @ 300 DPI ") of the DDA and bring it into Photoshop for finishing.  Not terribly elegant dieting, but the raster vector conversion works very well (with a little cleaning) in a document of 23 x 35.

The workflow has a certain quality of Rube Goldberg to it.  It seems that it might be wiser to export ZBrush directly in Photoshop.  Can I export an image of ZBrush in .psd format; However, is not enlarge to poster size very well. not nearly as good as the raster to vector conversion using AutoTrace.  I was wondering if I could export the model in ZBrush as a .obj file and consider that in Photoshop.  My idea is to create a large document PS (6900 x 10500 pix; i.e., 23 x 35 @ 300 dpi) and place the .obj file in this document.  Certainly, it is a stab.  I don't know if a .obj file would be better than a file .psd in terms of image quality for large prints.  Moot point, because I was not able to get the PS to "analyze" the .obj file (created in ZBrush by DecimationMaster).

If anyone knows how to integrate a ZBrush Photoshop .obj file or (2) (1) if it makes no sense to try or (3) if there is a better way to streamline the process a bit awkward, I developed at this point, I'd be happy to read your comments.

Thank you very much

Do not use a screenshot. If you have to do it the way you export a psd file and then continue from there. A screenshot will be only geab your image at the resolution you have set for your video card.

Photoshop will load a zbrush obj file, I tried it. Chances are that you are running out of ram. A 23 x 35 inches print should print very well at a lower PPI. 300 DPI assumes that the document will be held in the hand. As far the document is of the eye the power that the PPI can be. If you table, bars, etc.that between the viewer and printing will be concideration in the determination of the PPI.
