You can include all types of objects and parts of objects in the render-
ing, without selecting the objects first.
The Camera tool is useful whenever you need to convert objects to an
image, such as for creating web graphics. What the Camera tool does
is similar to the Image > Area > Render command. The Camera tool
lets you control the exact area to be rendered, while the Render com-
mand renders a rectangular area that includes all selected objects.
To render with the Camera tool
1
Select the Camera tool.
2
Drag to draw a rectangle around the area you want to render.
You can view the dimensions and coordinates of the rectangle in
the Status bar.
3
A bounding box with handles appears around the area you
selected. You can adjust the box to select exactly the area you want
to render.
Drag a handle to change the size and shape of the area to be
rendered.
Drag the border of the box to reposition the box.
4
When the box encloses the area you want to render, click
inside it.
5
The Render Image dialog box appears. Select the options you
want to use, and then click OK to render the selected area.
After you click OK in the Render Image dialog box, a paint object
containing the rendered image will appear in front of the area you
selected.
