Rendering the image to File |
To produce a high quality TIFF file from your image:
1. Select File > Render to File... 2. This will prompt you to specify the filename and location where you wish to save, via a standard file saving dialog. 3. There will also be a pop-up menu that contains post processing actions. These actions are performed after the file has been produced, allowing you to easily add the result to an iPhoto gallery, send the file via Mail, set you desktop background to the image, or other tasks. 4. Once you've specified the file, the document will begin to render in a background job. The Rendering Job Window will appear, showing the progress of the rendering. 5. The rendering will take place in the background, so you are free to continue to work with the document (or others), close it, etc... 6. You can have multiple jobs being rendered at any time, though this will, of course, slow down your work 7. If you change your mind (such as finding a better image you'd rather use), you can cancel a rendering job by clicking on it's corresponding cancel button. |
The size of the final image (and the amount of memory required to produce it) will be determined by the size and resolution of the image. The time it takes to produce it will be based on the complexity of the image, as well as the size, resolution, and antialias settings. See Setting Image Size for details on how to set them.
