shivesh,
NOpe, you cannot directly export image file from Pymol to Jpeg (unless
this has changed recently). But it is quite easy to save as PNG and
then use some image editing program to convert to JPEG if you like. I
recommend saving at around 1200 X 1200 (at least) with dpi set to 300.
if you don't know how to do this, please let me know. it makes a big
difference in the image quality.
That really depends what you want to do !!!
For a PowerPoint presentation its utterly pointless to save anything to
more than about 640x480, you need even less
if the image is planned to be a small portion of the slide. I have
often rendered 120x80 images and they look great, since
thats as many pixels that the projector can spare for that size of an
image in my presentation.
Do organize sizes in advance, don't go messing about making images
smaller and bigger in PP, you just make quality worse.
If you want now a picture for an A0 poster for your next meeting, to
dominate in about 40x30 cm (about 16x12 inches),
and you will print that at the expensive new institute printer that
does 300dpi, to achieve the desired quality you need
about 4800x3600 pixels !!!
btw, all presentation programs these days accept PNG - its a nice
format and no real need to make JPEGs.
JPEGs are really good for your camera, but at least in a few cases JPEG
compression is not good for molecular graphics.
The bond radius in stick representations can be changed by typing "set
stick_radius = [VALUE]" or "set stick_radius = 0.8" for example. You
will have to play with the exact value to please your taste.
Here is a link that you will most likely find very useful for some of
your needs.

Again, best of luck!

Nick

Subject: [ccp4bb]: thickness of the stick model
Dear all,
How can I save the image in JPEG format and can I decrease the
thickness of
stick for better representation in electron density map...Thanx in
advance.
