The final step you need to learn is how to output your finished graphic. This is very easy to do! When you are ready to save your graphic, click on the output button at the top of whatever page you are on. On the first output page, you will choose the output format. For WebTV there are only two that work...GIF and JPG. Your finished graphic will be in the same format as the background graphic you used but you can change it at this point if you want to. I usually change mine to GIF because they load faster than a JPG. Then click on "single file" if you are not using any animated graphics, multiple file if you are. Then click on output.
The next page will show your output graphic. Click on the graphic to bring it up, Then if you have a transloader saved in one of your F-keys you can go directly there to transload the graphic. Or else you can pull up the URL using the "go to" key and clicking on current, and copy and paste it or type it into the transloader page and transload the image. Done!
One more thing that you can use output for is to un-animate a graphic for use as a decorative graphic on a banner, button, or background. Type in the URL to the animated graphic on the first page of MagickStudio. After it loads, click on output. Choose GIF and SINGLE FILE (NOT multiple file!). This will output all of the separate files that make up the animation. You can then click on the image that you want to use...it will be un-animated and you can then transload it and use it as your decorative graphic.
Now is the time to go back and practice any of the ImageMagick features that you are not sure of. When you are ready, go to the final tutorial...Making and displaying a graphic set!
