 Saving to an Image

+ * Updated to build 419.

+To save your current mussa view to an image, select **File > Save to
+image...** as shown below.
+
+.. image:: images/save_to_image_menu.png
+   :alt: File > Save to image...
+   :align: center
+
+You can define the width and the height of the image to save. By
+default it will use the same size of your current view. Since the
+Mussa view is implemented using vectors, if you choose a larger size
+then your current view, Mussa will redraw at the higher resolution
+when saving. In other words, you get higher quality images when saving
+at a higher resolution.
+
+If you check the "Lock aspect ratio" check box, which I have circled
+in red, then when you change one value, say width, the other, height,
+will update automatically to keep the same aspect ratio.
