How do I export the image I've created in POV-Ray into a picture file like PNG
or JPG? So far, I've just been using my Windows Snipping Tool to draw a square
around what I want, then saving that as a picture file. However, I want the
highest resolution and that one is so large that it doesn't fit my laptop screen
so I can't draw a square around that then obviously. How do I save just that
window that the rendered image is in?
If I click CTRL+P to print to a PDF file even, what shows up in that PDF file is
just the source code.
I'd really appreciate any help. I need to send this off as quickly as possible
too so I'd appreciate a quick reply. Thanks! :)

Ah, never mind. I have a talent for finding the answer as soon as I post a
question haha. I didn't know the .bmp file in the POV-Ray folder was an image
file of the last time I edited the scene, and that it's updated every time
automatically. How cool! Ready-made.

povray can output images in several formats:

Unless you render with the -f flag, you always have an image file.
If you want a PNG file, you can use +fn. Add it to your povray.ini file
if you want to always generate this format.
If you update to version 3.7 RC2 (very, very stable even if you find it
in the beta page), the default file format is now PNG.
