Viewing saved images 2005-02-11 - By Thomas Moffat Grimes

Hello Danny,
You have to use the Render to File option, rather than Render To Screen. A
screen render is just a way of having a quick look, usually done with lower
rendering settings to see how things are shaping up. Then a Render to File
is done, which generates the image and stores it in a file. You choose the
image type you want, something like PNG or TGA is best for lossless
compression - you can use BMP but they are large as have no compression, or
JPG, but they have lossy compression so you dont have full quality.
Then you have your image stored for any use you like, and you dont need to
re-render unless you change the scene and want to produce a new image from
it.
HTH!
Tom

Subject: [TSML] Viewing saved images
Can enyone tell me how to save, load and view my rendered images in ts4.
Every time I save a rendered scene and load it back it has to be rendered
all over again.
Thanks.
