Sharing scenes

When you’ve made a scene the next step is to save it to your hard drive via the clipboard.  On the Finish tab the ‘Copy to Clipboard’ button will do exactly that.  

After this, the scene is on the clipboard of your computer and you can do whatever you want with it.  To simply save the scene as a file on your computer’s hard drive, open an image editor.  

If you are using a Mac you can use the Preview program. Start Preview, open the File menu and choose ‘New from Clipboard’.

On Windows you can use Paint.  Open the Paint program, then press Ctrl + V to paste the scene image, or open the Edit menu and choose ‘Paste’.

Now in either program you can Save the image (from the File menu) on your hard drive. 

Once it’s on your hard drive you can do all sorts of stuff… here’s some ideas based on what you’ll find on the web:

• Share it on Flickr – remember to tag it with the word Pikkipi
• Add effects and paint on the scene with an image editor like Picnik
• Add comic effects with FunPix or a program like Comic Life
• Create a Visual Novel (someone tell me if you try this!) 
• Animate it with a soundtrack using something like Slide
