Looking at the pictures Click
on a small picture to see a full-size version. This will be displayed in a new window.
Important - close the new window when you have finished looking at (or
saving) the full-size picture.*
Saving pictures
To save a picture, click on one of the five options (JPEG, GIF, Sprite, Draw or
ArtWorks). The option you choose depends upon which picture formats your computer can
handle.
- JPEG (16 million colours)
The picture will be displayed in a new window. Save the picture from the new window using
the usual method for your browser.
- GIF (256 colours)
The saving method is the same as for JPEG.
- Sprite (Acorn - 256 colours)
This will save a file to disc. The method will depend upon your browser.
- Draw (Acorn)
This will save a file to disc. The method will depend upon your browser.
A Draw file can be scaled to any size without losing detail.
- ArtWorks (Acorn)
This will save a file to disc. The method will depend upon your browser.
An ArtWorks file can be scaled to any size without losing detail.
Acorn users
The Sprite, Draw and ArtWorks files are compressed Spark files.
Drag the saved files into Spark or SparkPlug to decompress them.
(If you do not already have Spark or SparkPlug you can download SparkPlug. Save
it to your hard disc, set type to BASIC, and double-click on it to create !SparkPlug in
your root directory.)
* Reasons for closing new
windows:
1. If you try to open a second new window, it may disappear behind the main window.
2. A new window may hide your main window.
3. Your desktop will be much tidier if you close windows when you have finished with them. |
