Preserve During Load

parameters are preserved.

Save Image as...
Save current image as fits, jpeg, tiff, png, ppm, or mpeg file. Only
the visible portion of the image is saved, along with all graphs
including regions, catalogs, contours, and grids. If the image is a
data cube, saving as a mpeg movie will generate a mpeg-1 movie, one
frame per slice of data.
Save Frame as Fits...
Save the current frame as a fits image. This differs from above in that
all image data is saved, not just the visible data. Also, no rotation,
zoom, or panning is applied. The main purpose of this feature is to
allow a user to load a FITS binary table, and save it as a FITS image.
Save Frames as MPEG...
Save all frames as a MPEG-1 movie. Each frame is cycled thru and the
visible image is saved as one frame of the movie, along with all
graphics including regions, catalogs, grids, and contours.
Display Fits Header
Displays the FITS header. If FITS Mosaic is loaded, a list of headers
will be presented.. If FITS Bin Table is loaded, the table header will
be displayed, not the binned image.
