Once the end-users of your application have created some marks, they probably may want to save them somewhere. Your application has the following choices of where to save them:

• Save them to a separate .ART file. This is a legacy ART storage format supported in the previous versions of ImageGear ART. Using this method, your application will have to keep track of which .ART file goes with which image file, and load them together. Use IGArtXPage Object.SaveFile Method with LEGACY parameter of enumIGArtXSaveFormat Enumeration.
• Save them to a separate .XML file. This is a more flexible and extendable storage format, and is highly recommended. Using this method, your application will have to keep track of which .XML file goes with which image file, and load them together. Use IGArtXPage Object.SaveFile Method with XML parameter of enumIGArtXSaveFormat Enumeration.
• Save the ART marks as tags or objects inside the image file. This option is only available for raster file formats that support storing annotations, like TIFF files. Use IGArtXPage Object.Save Method.
• Save the ART marks as annotations inside a PDF file. This option is only available for PDF format. Use the IGArtXPage Object.SaveFile Method that takes IGPage to do this.
• "Burn In" the ART marks. This converts the ART marks from their native representation to the format of the raster image file, which usually destroys a lot of their functionality (for instance, once a mark is burned in to a JPEG image, it cannot be moved, resized, or hidden). Use IGArtXPage Object.BurnIn Method to do this.
