In POV-Ray you don't *save* a file in *any* image format:

With the "Save/Save As" commands of the "File" menu you *save* a file in the
POV-Ray scene-description language (which is always text-format).

But if you render a scene, it is not only rendered to the screen, but the
image is also stored on the disk, usually in the same folder the scenefile
(POV-file) is stored in, with the same name (except for the extension) as
you POV-file (if you didn't change any settings).
And this stored file is an image-file. By default in TGA format, but with
the switches (as described in other answers to your posts) you can also save
to PNG, BMP etc.
