After you have created
a sketch, you may want to export it as an image file. You can either
export an entire canvas plane as an image or export a single layer
as an image. Sliders allow you to resize your image file for easy
viewing in PortfolioWall. You can also export a canvas plane together
with 3D objects.
See Export an image layer.
To export a canvas plane
- Click the view that contains the canvas
plane you want to export as an image.
- Choose File > Export > Make Canvas Picture to open the File Browser.
NoteTo
choose the image file format, choose
File > Export > Make Canvas Picture ❒ to open the
Make Picture Options box,
choose the image file format (JPEG, ALS, TIFF, 24 bit BMP, or 32
bit BMP), and click
Go.
- Use the File Browser to
enter a name for the image file and click Save.
The image is saved. The
default format is TIFF.
NoteYou can export a canvas plane in 32 bit
BMP format, so that the image file contains four channels (RGBA),
or in 24 bit BMP format, so that the image file contains three channels
(RGB). Many graphics applications cannot read 32 bit BMP files.
In these cases, export the canvas plane in 24 bit BMP format or
use the imgcvt utility
to convert the 32 bit BMP file to a 24 bit BMP file.
