Exporting images

[paolo mazza]

I have beeen looking for a solution to this problem for a long time.
As far as I know in Rev we are supposed to take a shapshot of the screen.
I tryed to merge images using imagedata and maskdata. It works but the
process is slow and unstable. Perhaps you can do a better job.
I posted this script at the page:
