- [Instructor] Welcome to the section…on exporting your work…from the file export command.…If you have a file that you want to export quickly…and you don't want to jump into the export persona,…just go up to File,…Export, and then you get this window.…Up at the top are all the different file formats…that you can export from this command window.…Below it, you have the dimensions…and you could unlock and relock…the aspect ratio of the document,…so you could actually change this.…
Then you have the presets…depending on what file format you're exporting,…re-sampling, you can save affinity layers…if it's a document that supports multi-layer export.…Below that you have the area…so you could export the whole document,…you could export the selection without background…and if you're using slices,…then you want to use the export persona…but if not, and you're just exporting…a individual selected object,…then you want to use this.…
The main screen and register…that actually are the names of my art boards that are here,…so you could export the art boards independently…
