Exporting as a picture

currently selected object(s), to an image file, using a file format you specify.
To export as a picture:

click (or drag a marquee) to select multiple objects.
2. Choose Export As Picture... from the File menu.
3. In the Save as type drop-down list, select a image format, e.g. Serif
MetaFile Format (*.smf).
4. Specify a folder and file name for the picture.
5. To export just selected object(s), check Selected object(s). To export
the whole page, uncheck this box.
6. To choose from export options such as resolution, colour, and
transparency, check Show filter options.
7. Click Save. You'll see export options, if available and requested, for
the particular export filter in use.
