NWE Help: Graphics: XV: Save

NWE Home :: Help :: Graphics :: XV

The XV save window lets you write images back to disk, presumably after you've modified them. You can write images back in many different formats, not just the original format.

XV save window

Images are saved as they are currently shown (i.e. at the current size, with the current color modification, rotation, cropping, etc. applied.) Warning: If you don't save an image when closing XV, the changes will be lost!

You can choose the format and color depth for your image with the two menus at the top right. However, keep in mind that for some formats, the image must be at a certain color depth; if not, XV will display an error. Generally speaking, in the NWE only three formats are needed (gif, jpeg and tiff), and unless you're absolutely sure, there's no need to change the format or color depth.

For the most part, the XV save window operates exactly like the XV load window.

When the window is opened, it should have the filename of the currently loaded file already entered into the text entry region. If you click on a file name in the list window, this name will be cleared and replaced with the new name. Likewise, the Format and Colors selections will reflect the currently loaded image.
