By selecting the “Keep full-size image dimensions” option, the entire
image acquired at its native size is exported using the current
brightness and contrast settings.
Customization of the export image is available by using the
“Customize with image designer…” tool. This button launches a new
“Export Designer” window that allows the User to customize the
cropping and zoom level as well as the option to add a legend and
timestamp if desired. With the legend option, a scale bar and field of
view dimensions will appear in the exported image as they do in the
Vessel View.
In the “Export Designer” window, the full size image is cropped as it
appears in the Vessel View window, whether viewed full-size or
zoomed-in. The cropping boundaries can also be changed in the
current window by clicking on and dragging the red boundary lines
within the preview window. Similarly, the cropped rectangle can be
moved by clicking and dragging within the current boundaries. The
final size of the cropped image in pixels is displayed below the
“Scaling” control. Use this control to adjust the size and resolution of
the final image. As the scaling increases, the final size increases, and
vice versa. This allows you to customize the final image size, which
can be very convenient when exporting data for presentation
formats. By increasing the scaling, you can digitally zoom in on a
small cropped area.
NOTE
: The sizes of both the scale bar and timestamp (in pixels) are
fixed and will thus appear differently depending on scaling.
Experiment with the “Scaling” option to see how this affects both the
timestamp and legend on the final image.
We
strongly
encourage you to preview your customization settings
prior to export via the “Output Preview” button found in the left-
hand corner of the “Export Designer” window.
Once you are satisfied with the customization, click “OK” to exit the
Export Designer.

After the image type, file destination, and optional customization has
been completed, select the “Export” button.
