Saving an Image

Complete the following steps to save the currently displayed image in Vision Builder AI:

1. Select File»Save Image to launch the Save Image dialog box.
2. Select the hard drive to which you want to save the image.
3. Select the directory to which you want to save the image.
4. Enter a file name.
5. Select a file format. The following formats are available: BMP, TIFF, JPEG, JPEG2000, and PNG. Refer to Image Options for a complete list of the options available for each file format.

   JPEG, JPEG2000, and PNG are compressed file formats. If you select one of these formats, you must also select the image quality or compression ratio you desire. The image quality ranges from 0 to 1000, where 0 equals maximum compression and 1000 equals no compression. The compression ration is the degree to which to compress the JPEG2000 file. For example, if the Compression Ratio is 50, the resulting file will be 50 times smaller than the size of the image in memory.

   Note  PNG format always performs a lossless compression. JPEG2000 can perform a lossless or lossy compression based on the value of the Lossless control.

6. Enable the Merge Image Overlay control if you want to add the overlay information to the saved image.

   Note  Merging the overlay modifies the content of the image and causes Vision Builder AI to save the image as a color image.

7. Click Save to save the image.
