Is it possible to capture the buffer of an element in order to save it as an image file? I’d like to create an interactive app whereby a user could open an image, apply some effects and text on it, then save the changes. Is there currently a system in place for this for doing this, and if not, is there a way of achieving this? Ideally I’d like to maintain the original resolution, regardless of the device size, so presumably the image would be scaled inside of a ``. I’d want to save the original buffer of the element inside of the Viewbox, not the scaled display version. Thanks. ---

Hi Luke. That certainly is possible, but not in an easy way using just UX and JS. You could take a look at the `SavePanel` in [fuse-signature](https://github.com/bolav/fuse-signature) library and work your way from there. ---

Cheers Uldis. Looks like exactly what I need! Time I got my feet wet with Uno…
