Technical Note

This program uses temporary memory to create the LW image.  Temporary memory is the memory that the system did not yet allocate to any other application.  Temporary memory is allocated from the available unused RAM.

The program checks the available temporary memory and calculates the maximum possible resolution based on the original image resolution and the original image size.

To allow the program to export at the maximum possible resolution, quit any other application which is currently open on your Macintosh.

A "Memory Full" message is displayed if there is not enough memory available to export the file at the minimum resolution, which is the original image resolution.

To complete the export to LW file:

1.  Click the "OK" button.

The program will export the paths to the LW file in 2 phases: first, the paths are exported to memory, and second, the LW file is written.  The program displays a progress meter for every step of the process.
