= Saving Images =

You can save the contents of the  Display Window to a picture file. TkMedit uses the TIFF format, a standard format readable by most image programs. To save a single  picture, choose '''Tools->Save TIFF...'''. You may want to turn  off the cursor or other view items in the '''View''' menu  before saving your picture.

You can also save a series of images  with the '''Tools->Save TIFF Series...''' command. This  command steps through slices in the current orientation and saves an  image of each. You choose a directory and prefix for the file names  as well as the range of slices to step through. For example, if you  choose {{{/tmp}}} for the directory, {{{image}}} for the prefix, and 5 and 8  for the start and end, it will create {{{/tmp/image005.tiff}}},  {{{/tmp/image006.tiff}}}, {{{/tmp/image007.tiff}}}, and {{{/tmp/image008.tiff}}}.
