3. Define an Image size by setting a meters per pixel or feet per pixel value. The lower this value, the higher resolution and more detail in the output image. The smaller the scale, the larger the image size. The corresponding dimensions of the image (in width and height of pixels) are automatically displayed.

4. Any bitmap larger than 64 MB is broken into tiles.

5. Once you have defined your region, Click OK and save the file to an appropriate directory.

Note: files can be saved in either BMP or JPG format. In the following figure, the selected region is approximately 6km across and is represented at a scale of 10 meters per pixel.
