Making slides from modeling images

This is the SUN version. For the SGI equivalent, click here

1. Use the RIGHT mouse button on the blue background and bring down the WORKSPACE menu
2. Move the pointer to the PROGRAMS menu and follow it down to SNAPSHOT
3. Use the right mouse button to bring down the menu for Snapshot

   Snapping a picture

   • Next to the title Snap Type choose either:
     1. Window -- for an entire window
     2. Region -- to draw a box around any part of the screen
     3. Screen -- for the entire screen

   • If you choose Window, click on SNAP and move the pointer to the window you want to capture and click the mouse.

   • Click on SAVE to save the image. The default is snapshot.rs, a SUN raster image (This is the only format that snapshot knows)

4. Start the application XV -- A UNIX imaging program (You can run this from the UNIX command line -- just type "xv") or use the WORKSPACE menu

5. Now open the image in XV
   • Use the RIGHT mouse button anywhere on the XV window that popped up to bring up the XV Controls menu
   
   
6. Save the image in a format that your application can read

   GIF

   A GIF is the smallest with the good resolution. Some Macintosh programs won't read a GIFF (like Adobe Photoshop)

   TIFF

   A TIFF file is also good resolution, but much bigger. Adobe photoshop will read a TIFF file.

   JPEG

   A JPEG file is highly compressed, but you might lose some resolution

7. Now you can FTP your image using the Fetch program on your Macintosh.
