Jackie,
This is for MAC using FM 5.5 and should do the same for PC. Click on field, select all, copy; launch graphic program (preview, quicktime, photoshop), select new file from copied image, paste - and this should show the image. Do a save as - in Preview, must be pict, and choose suffixes that are offered for Quicktime, Photoshop, or other graphic application. Be sure to check your dpi and picture quality. Dragging images to the desktop creates a picture clipping when using MACs. I tried doing this with an image in FM7 and it does not do a picture clipping. However, FM7 will allow you to export field contents from the edit command as a pict file, if you upgrade FileMaker in the future. Maybe someone else has more info to say here.

Am I inputting it wrong? Pulling it out wrong? Jackie
