_Hi,  
\*  
Can screenshots be saved as georeferenced TIFFs for direct import into GIS software? This would be valuable for geoscience research._

Best regards,

Vinicius\*

I’m afraid that’s not currently possible as of ParaView 6.0.1.

Ok, thank you Cory for the reply.

Can you move this to a requested feature? I could be wrong, but I created this topic within the requested feature category, but somehow it was moved to support.
