3.0 - Saving an image

To make sure your image is saved in an RSC-compatible format, perform the following steps:

1. Once your illustration is finalised, use the "Crop" tool to remove unwanted white space.
2. Print your image out at this point as a final size and quality check.
3. From the "Layer" menu, click on "Flatten Image" (if it is available).
4. From the "File" menu, click on "Save As...". In the dialogue box that appears, select "TIFF" from the "Format" drop down list, and enter a sensible name (e.g. figure1.tif) in the "File name" box. Click "Save".
5. In the "TIFF Options" dialogue box which then appears, select "LZW" image compression and "IBM PC" byte order. Click "OK".
