I have a rendered image in compositing with a node set up to add a vignette. It all looks good in the compositing window but I cannot find a method to save this new image.
Actually there is a way to save the composited image without re-rendering:
- select the viewer node
- in the N panel (properties region) under "Node" there is a "Save This Image" button.
There are two ways to save it.
The first way is to predefine the output in the properties panel under render>output. You can set a destination and file type there. Once you click render the image will automatically save there.
The second way is to render the image with the vignette, and then select Image>Save Image As at the bottom of the render panel.

$\begingroup$ I tried the first way already but get the original render without the vignette...so I guess I have to try the second way....when I try to Render from the compositing window I do not get the vignette.... $\endgroup$ – Gavia Jun 14 '16 at 22:28

$\begingroup$ Thank you guys..root, Ray and CyberBurst...I had failed to use a file output node as suggested by root. $\endgroup$ – Gavia Jun 14 '16 at 22:40

Go to the uv image editor and select the viewer node in the image list. Then you can save it.
