Editing Practical Pymol for Beginners (section)

===Saving an image===
You've found the perfect view, and you'd like to [[Save]] it?

# Change the size of the viewer and zoom in/out to make the image the right size. Images are saved exactly as they appear in the viewer, and the size of the viewer determines the size of the image.
#* For example, images for printing and presenting should be larger than images for a posting on a website.
# Because PyMOL was designed to run on older computers, the maximum quality is not enabled by default. To change this, select '''Display''', '''Quality''', '''Maximum Quality'''. Notice that round things are rounder, curves are curvier, and color shading is smoother.
# Once you've found the appropriate view, save an image using '''File''', '''Save Image...''' An picture of the current view will be saved in PNG format.

'''Tip:''' Using the ''[[ray]]'' command before saving an image will create a higher quality version with shadows, etc. This can take time, depending on the size of the image and speed of the computer, but the images created after ray tracing are usually spectacular. However, the ray tracing disappears if the view is changed in any way.
