Hi Dalia,

I will answer the question for v1.2, but recommend you immediately upgrade to v1.4.

1.4 has our new image export function which gives you a lot of control of format, scale bar, original pixels, physical size, etc, and is a much better solution, in general, for exporting.

To your question: Is the only way to export a tif/jpeg image from the browse window on an image that has already been saved? 

In 1.2 – Correct, to export from the browse view, the image must be in the file directory – in other word it must be saved.

In 1.4 – you can use the Export Command (coupled Run History feature for multiple files or channels) to export an analysis (which could be applied to an unsaved file(s) in the browse list)

In either case there are a number of format choices (including jpg). Be sure to check the dropdown list in the save window, and all the options when right-clicking.

Also, you can always right click on the processed image (without saving) to export a jpg or bmp, Export -> Screen Display. Again, use the dropdown in the save dialog box.

For your second question: if you want to export multiple channels of the same image in jpeg, how do you do that?

In 1.2, first create a directory structure where each folder is a different channel, select all the files you want to export, right click in the browse window, export, select the channel you want to save, navigate to the correct folder, save, repeat.

In 1.4, you can use the export and run history feature, and the file names will automatically contain the channel (and will not overwrite).

I think this covers your questions. Let me know if not.
