Saving Files and Images

To save the current Mandelbrot file so that Fractal Forge can open it again, go to the FILE menu at top of screen and select SAVE FILE.

To save an image for viewing on any image viewer or graphics editor, such as Paint Shop Pro or ACDSee, select SAVE IMAGE and pick PNG from the FILE TYPE drop-down menu. PNG files give quality as good as that of BMP files, but take only a fifth of the disk space. A 1024x768 BMP is about 2.5 megabytes. A PNG one is just 500k.

If you need an application to browse and view your Fractal Forge generated images, Irfanview (available from http://www.irfanview.com) is an excellent alternative.
