You have to render your Apophysis fractals, not save them or they won't make very good images for anything but a postage stamp.
Click on File
Click on Export Flame
In the File Save box, give your image a path and a file name
eg. C:/ART FOLDER/APOPHYSIS ART/myfilename.jpg
make sure Maintain Ratio Aspect and Render boxes are checked
Start with 2000 for your width and it will set the Height per the image ratio
Leave it at 300dpi
Click OK
A black Windows/System32 window will open showing the progress of the rendering.
the larger you set the width the longer rendering will take, up to HOURS depending on your system and what else you are doing on the computer
At 2000 width the whole image renders at once
At 3000 width the image renders in thirds
At 4000 width the image renders in quarters
I haven't tried larger than that yet, but you get the picture
The flame file also gets saved during this process, so you will end up with two files, an image file that you have rendered, and the flame file that you can open later and work on some more and make an entirely different image Or you can render the existing image to a larger size, or change the background colour, or change the fractal colour scheme, etc, etc, etc......
very versatile software.
I hope this helps
