In this tutorial, you will learn how to export your creations to your image libraries.
Image Libraries
An image library, is where you store all your image files and is effectively your top level image work folder.
Everyone gets their own personal image work folders, no matter what version you have.
If you are using hooptactix personal edition, then your image work folder is on your personal kwikdrive.
If you are using the Academy edition, then your image work folder is on your academy home drive.
You also have access to the academy image work folder, which is a top level shared folder that that everyone in the academy has access to.

The next option is the "Save to library" button.
This button opens you library, where you can navigate through its folders and save the image to wherever you want.

When the exporter is fired off, it automatically saves the format as JPG.
If you have a png loaded as a background (which can be transparent), then you will see the "Convert to PNG" button appear.
Clicking this button, causes the exporter to re-generate the image in png format.
It also changes the top right format to PNG as well.
Once the image is rendered, you can save it to where you need to. Or you can right lick it and save it directly to your computer or device.
