      </table><br><p class="para_topic">After the image is generated, and before you leave the function or generate another image, you have the option of saving the image. The image save function saves the image in 24-bit Tag Image File Format (TIFF).</p>
      <p class="para_topic">The Save Image dialog automatically inserts the file name based on the part name into the Save File field. This is the name of the image file into which the rendered High Quality Image will be saved. The default is to save the image in TIFF file format (.tif), but you can also save in GIF or JPEG formats by changing the extension (.gif or .jpg). You can also enter your own file name.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">Use the List Files button to bring up a standard file selection dialog. This allows you to look for existing files, or specify a new file name.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">The Compress image button is effective only for TIFF images, and allows you to reduce the storage requirements for the saved image, often by as much as 50 percent. In most cases you will want to compress the image, unless the TIFF file is going to be used by a program that cannot read compressed TIFF files.</p>
