After the first Random Style has been applied (as described in section "1.2 Open image and Apply Random Style"), click Save Image from the File menu. The image will be rendered in its final form. This may take a few seconds or a few minutes, depending on the applied style's complexity and on your image’s dimension. If your final image is not like the preview, please read the tutorial to understand the difference between Preview and Final Render: click here for the tutorial. Save the project so you can modify it in the future. When you have finished working on your image click Save from the File menu or click the Save icon in the menu bar.
The save dialog box appears. From the Save dialog box, you can choose to save an image or a project. By default, PostworkShop’s specific project file format is selected: *.PRJ.
Note: PostworkShop projects files can be opened only in PostworkShop, do not try to open them in any other software as they are not be recognized and will not open.

Projects you save are be listed in the Projects pane. You can sort them by name (click the “A” icon) or by last access (click the “1” icon) in the toolbar below.

When choosing an image file type, PostworkShop gives you the possibility to save the Preview image or the Full size image. Please read our tutorial to understand the difference between the preview image and the final rendered image: http://postworkshop.net/tutorial/understanding-previews-and-final-images.
If you chose Full size image, the image will be rendered in its final form. This may take a few seconds or a few minutes, depending on the applied style's complexity and on your image’s dimension. Next, select the destination folder in your computer, give the file a name, and press Save.
PostworkShop memorizes the path you chose to save your image so next time you want to save an image you will not have to select the target folder again.
