Export/print high quality image of Assembly or Part

Hello, I'm fairly new to solidworks so I hope im not missing something very basic. I want to export a picture file of a large assembly so that I can tweak it in photoshop and print it in poster size for a presentation. I have tried 'save as' .jpeg, .tiff and 'print to' MDI file, etc, but only get low res pixelated images. How to I get a good sharp crisp image? A friend says the only way is to use photoworks but I'm not yet too familiar with that product and I am happy with the colors and rendering already without all the photoworks 'bling'. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

p.s. Im using SW'06 office pro. Adam.

Create a blank drawing ( no sheet format ). Insert your part/assembly. Save as-,*.tif, click the options button, whack the print capture radio button, and finally alter the DPI setting. I usually set it at max to give to our catalog guy, and let him do all the photoshop stuff. That should give you a good image to work with. If its still not high enough, change your sheet size to something larger ( ie E ) and scale your part/assembly to fill the sheet.

There is a macro on

"Save high quality bitmap files from your models" this may help. Let us know if it works.
