If you need to export whole pages of your file to image files, see Image Output.

To take a snapshot of part of a page and save it to a file:

  1. Click on the Snapshot tool .
  2. Drag out a rectangle around the area you want to snapshot.
    As soon as you stop dragging, the box is fixed, and the Save Snapshot dialog box opens.
  3. Choose the resolution for rendering the snapshot. The higher the value, the larger and more detailed the saved image will be.
  4. Choose the colour-depth for the snapshot.
    RGB (red/green/blue) is full colour, all the other options are variations of black and white.
  5. If you want a transparent background to the snapshot, click on Retain Transparency.
    This option is only available when PNG format and RGB are chosen.
  6. Press OK and choose a file name for your saved image.
