[[file:QGis Print composer output - 11 bitmap (png).png|right|300px|thumb|What we want is this: a high quality topographic output. With QGis and experience, you can get this in about 5 to 10 minutes.]]
You are now working with QGis, your GIS data—namely, ETOPO1—and your customized palette. To output your first topographic background, '''don't use ''File > Save as Image'', which is a simple screenshot.''' For better quality, use the ''Print composer''. This step will walk you through outputting a map like the one you see on the right, including a grid and an inset that lets the viewer know where in the world this section is located.

Go to ''File > Export as Image'' or ''PDF'' or ''SVG'' (warning, SVG export is somewhat dodgy) and you have yourself a high quality topographic background!
