Hi Graham, export snapshot from rect (the rect of control x) to myVar as JPEG set the text of img y to myVar
However, since you're exporting an image, why don't you put img x into img y? You could also use the import snapshot command, which creates a new image. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Use Color Converter to convert CMYK, RGB, RAL, XYZ, H.Lab and other colour spaces. http://www.color-converter.com On 22 sep 2012, at 19:43, Graham Samuel wrote: > Hi Mark > > Thanks for the reply.
