Depth, DPI
Some le formats support 16 bits per channel, i.e. 48-bit color.
Sets the bit-depth for each channel in the le and the dots-per-inch resolution of the picture.
Save Multi-Passes
Enable this option if you have rendered a multi-pass image and you want to save all layers.
Alpha Channel
If this option is enabled, the alpha channel will be saved with the image, provided the le format you
have chosen supports alpha channels.
Stop Rendering
You can also stop the rendering by pressing Esc.
Stops the rendering of the scene. Proceed with caution. If you stop the rendering of a picture, you
will be unable to resume rendering when you next render — the picture will be rendered from the
beginning. The same applies to animation when using movie le formats such as AVI or QuickTime.
However, if you are rendering the animation as a sequence of still images, such as a TIFF sequence, the
frames already rendered are saved using the save path chosen in the render settings. If you want to
keep these saved frames, you must change the save path in the render settings before you next render,
otherwise these frames will be overwritten. Also, on the Output page of the rendering settings, set
the left input box for Frame to the number of the frame that was being rendered when you stopped
rendering. This will prevent the animation being rendered from the beginning.
Close
Closes the Picture Viewer.
Edit Menu
Copy
Copies the image in the Picture Viewer to the clipboard. You can then paste the image into another
application, such as an image editor.
