Trying to play with lighting on an image. Also trying to do a few tricks to make a render more realistic.

Question though? So, I rendered this image as a 3840x3840 .png and I used Gimp to convert it so a 1920x1920 .jpg. I heard someone on youtube say to increase realism you should render really big if you have good textures and then shrink the image. Is that true? I can't tell a massive difference, but could some of the veterans let me know if that trick works? Does GIMP work to that or do I need a different program?

The guy also said rendering as a PNG first is better. Is it better to render as a PNG then convert to JPG? Should I leave them as PNGs?

Left it as the full 3840x3840 render, and just convert to JPG after fixing some minor sins in the rendering. I still used GIMP because RIOT froze on me when I tried to optimize the PNG. Granted it did warn me that the image size was large. It just made me realize the PNGs are huge. The original PNG was 63mb vs this jpgs 6.4mb. Wow I didn't know there was THAT much difference in size between the two.
