High-Quality Capture
Save a detailed still image of the current Photo view. Choose the image size, quality and file format before starting.
Use Export HQ for a higher-quality still image of the view you have framed in Photo mode. The dialog offers Ultra and Fast quality, 1K, 2K and 4K resolutions, and PNG or JPEG files. Choose Screenshot Capture instead when you need an immediate image of the live view.
Frame the Photo view
Open the Photo view and position the camera. Check the visible objects, lighting, weather and season before exporting: the image uses the current scene and camera. Click Export HQ at the lower-right of the viewport.
Choose Ultra or Fast
Under Quality, choose Ultra for the most lifelike light and shadows, or Fast for a quicker image that is sharper and more detailed than the live view. The dialog opens with Ultra selected each time. Ultra can take a long time; neither option has a guaranteed completion time. If your device cannot run Ultra, the dialog shows a reason and prevents that export from starting. Choose Fast if it is suitable for your task.
Choose the output size and format
Select 1K (1024 × 768), 2K (2048 × 1536) or 4K (4096 × 3072). The initial resolution is 2K; your selected resolution and format can be retained for later exports. Choose PNG for a lossless image or JPEG for a smaller file. This dialog does not offer 8K. Lighting and other scene appearance are set in the presentation controls before opening the export dialog. Review the dialog’s lists of live-view settings applied and omitted for the selected quality; do not assume every live-view effect is included.
Start the export
Click Generate. Where your browser supports choosing a save location, select the file destination before rendering begins. Cancelling that file dialog does not start an export. In other browsers the image is offered as a download when it is ready. Use Cancel or the close control in the export dialog to leave without starting. If an interrupted export can be recovered, Resume export appears. It uses the interrupted export’s saved size, format, quality and camera rather than the current dialog choices; the scene is rebuilt from the open drawing.
Inspect and save the result
Wait for the render to finish, then inspect the image in the preview. Use its zoom and fit controls to check detail. Review any quality or image warnings before using the result. Download saves the output; Copy is available for supported image formats and browsers. If a destination was selected earlier, check the save result shown in the preview.
If export cannot start or finishes with a warning, use the displayed explanation to decide what to change. A lower resolution or Fast quality can be useful for checking the view before a longer Ultra export. Do not treat an image warning as confirmation that the output is ready for delivery.
