To save a project currently in use, click the Save Project button on the toolbar or click File -> Save Project. Enter a filename and navigate to the location you wish to save the file and click Save.
To load a project previously saved, click the Load Project button on the toolbar or click File -> Load Project. Navigate to and select the file you wish to load and click Load.
Once you are satisfied with the graph you are currently working on, you can export the graph as an image file (.png) or in a PDF. To do so, click the Export button on the toolbar or click File -> Export.
From the dialog that opens, select whether to export as a PNG image or as a PDF, then navigate to the location you wish to save the file and click OK.
Genesis will export the graph as it is on the screen in front of you, and will scale this image to fit on the width of an A4 page. This may cause larger admixture project's images to be of too high detail to view all the detail on the monitor of your computer all at once. This is normal and expected. The detail will be stored there - it may be necessary to zoom in to view it all - and if the image is printed, the detail will be there (assuming the printer is of high enough quality).
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a free open-source cross-platform image file that can be handled by almost all good image viewers and editors. When exporting as a PNG file, note that the image will be the same size as it is on the screen as you export it. This means that resizing the Genesis window between PCA exports will create different sized images (Admixture sizes are determined by the options in the Appearance Options). This is important as PNG images do not scale up, i.e. a smaller image will become blurry if it is stretched too big. Keep this in mind when exporting as a PNG image.
