Enhance Your Publication with Snapshot

One of the most crucial part of preparing for publications or presentations is to have high-quality figures. To achieve that, Imaris provides a one-click Snapshot solution that can generate the output image that captures what you see on the screen, with specified dimension.

To access Snapshot settings, click on the small triangle next to the Snapshot icon, then click on Preferences. You can choose to either save the output file the same as Window size, or with specific fixed size in terms of pixels.

You can also choose to save the image in PNG, Tiff, or JPEG format. If you would like to have transparent background, make sure you select either PNG or Tiff format.

The Snapshot tool can be used not only under 3D View, but also Slice View and Section view.

Furthermore, you can take snapshots under Vantage as well. Under 1D View and 2D View, the snapshot function works the same as previous examples. If you want to save the figure from Time View or Spatial View, in addition to the Snapshot function, you can also choose to save it as Scalable Vector Graphics, or SVG. This option allows better preservation of the graphs.
