This item will only be enabled in the File Menu if the QuickTime extension is present in the System. Otherwise, it will appear as a dimmed (disabled) item. The user is first presented with the QuickTime Compression Settings Dialog (see Figure 3) allowing the choice of available compression techniques and quality level of the compressed image. After the Compression Settings have been selected, the user is presented with a StandardPutFile Dialog, allowing the user to specify the file name and location under which to save the current image file in QuickTime compressed ‘PICT’ format (24-bit deep). Once this dialog is dismissed, the image will be compressed to the specified file.
Note that for individual Fractal! images, the JPEG QuickTime compression codec will probably be the most useful choice. QuickTime compression allows you save PICT files in a fraction of the space required for the uncompressed file.
