Save a snapshot of the Paint Effects panel view

Saving a snapshot is like taking a photograph of the panel and saving it as an image that you can view or modify. You can save snapshots of the canvas and the Paint Effects scene painting view.

To save a snapshot

1. Select Paint > Save Snapshot or click the Save Snapshot icon on the toolbar.

   The Save Image (Linux) or Save (Windows and Mac OS X) window opens.

2. Type the name of the snapshot, including the file extension (for example, forest.iff).
   Tip:

   If you plan to transfer files between Linux and Windows, do not put spaces in the filenames.

3. Click Save. Maya saves the contents of the image in Maya image format (.iff) under the specified name (regardless of the specified file type).
