Save As Dialog



The Save As dialog is used to save a captured or imported image.

Use the Save tool (or the Save As command in the File menu) to open the dialog.

EasyCopy supports export of the file formats listed below.

Size
Press Size to open the Image Size dialog to specify the size of image.
Colors
Press Colors to open the Color Options dialog in which you can specify device independent color modifications to the image before it is saved.

The color options only apply if you have enabled the check box next to Colors.
Color Options apply before File Type Options. For example, if you select Gray Scale in the Color Options dialog and RGB in the File Type Options dialog, the image is reduced to gray scale, before it is saved in a 24-bit RGB format. If you select Gray Scale in the File Type Options dialog the image is reduced to gray scale and (if possible) saved in 8-bit gray scale format.


Stamp
Press Stamp to open the Stamp Options dialog in which you can specify a stamp to be written diagonally across the saved image.

The stamp only applies if you have enabled the check box next to Stamp.


Label
Press Label to open the Label Options dialog in which you can specify one or more lines to be written as a label near the edge of the saved image.

The label only applies if you have enabled the check box next to Label.


Convert Capture
Specifies whether captured images will be saved in the selected image file format or in the default image format. If this option is enabled a captured image is converted to the selected format before it is saved. Otherwise, captured images are saved in XWD format (except for Silicon Graphics systems if GL Mode is selected, in which case captured images are saved in Silicon Graphics RGB format).

Explicit path and file name can be specified in this box.

The default suggestion for the file name includes a standard extension that depends on the selected file type. If the original input image included a standard extension this is stripped off before the new extension is appended.

Examples:
Input fileSaved as CGMSaved as JPEGSaved as TIFF
sample.tifsample.cgmsample.jpgsample.tif
samplesample.cgmsample.jpgsample.tif
sample.newsample.new.cgmsample.new.jpgsample.new.tif
The default extension is only a suggestion. You can edit the file name and remove the suggested extension. You will not get an extension appended behind your back.
