You can only save an image with Pro. In pro, when you preview the shot you will see a box on the lower left and when you click on it you can save as the usual formats.

just remember to have a big size for the project (on project settings) before saving the image.

THANKS SO MUCH GUYS.
@selgin... Thanks for the know. In project setting i have Width 872 and Height 486. I have the NTSC D1 selected as well. Will this create a printable image that's clear?
In PS you have the 300dpi, but with AS you have somethings i've never seen. My searches got me more lost.
Thanks.

Just be sure the document be big. I think more than 2000 pixels would be fine. It's better to have a huge original for prints.

dpi is no mystery. "300 dpi" means "300 dots/pixels per inch".
How big do you want to print? Let's say you want to print 10 x 10 inch. Easy math says your image needs to be created in 3000 x 3000 px.

Like others say, the more pixels the better for qualities sake.
There is another post with details about that

I posted some links about explaining dpi and pixels and all that stuff for print (if you feel like reading
), plus some other suggestions like exporting to Flash for a resolution independent file.

I got it. Thanks, guys.
@Cheyne... that's the post i was talking about. It confused me. I know my way around Photoshop two times over and saving for print with it. I just wanted to know how to create crisp clean images ONLY using AS. The tools are much better than Illustrator.
I did search on this site about and on the web.
