Dynamic Preview and Saving
To initiate the rendering process, click the Render button in the Shaderlight main menu. A new resizable screen will appear, serving as the Render preview window.

To save the render at any time during the process, go to the top-left drop-down menu, and select File ⇒ Save As.

Adjusting the camera view, textures, and lighting will cause the preview window to update and reflect these changes when Update is set to Auto (Fig. 26.14). This does not work when Update is set to Tile.
