Simple, it isn't. Moray doesn't render, Moray only creates the scene to be
rendered. You have to render the scene in POVRay or Polyray. then you can
find the file and convert it into .bmp,.tif, .tga, .png or whatever you want
(providing you have a graphics app able to convert the scene from the
default output (.tga povray 3.0x .bmp povray 3.1 win)).

Hmmm, that makes me think: (hey, I'm proud of it, that doesn't happen too
often! ;-)

Moray *does* abstract the intricate workings of POV-Ray for the user who
doesn't want to delve into programming POV scripts.

So why don't add this additional step of abstraction and add a menu item
like "Save image as..." which would allow the user to save the *rendered*
image to a filename (and format?) of his choice (usually somewhere outside
of the povscn/polyscn folder)...
That would relieve the user of having to use Explorer and "find the file and
convert it" like Maleko wrote.

Just a thought... (I know, I know, it will definitely not make it into 3.1,
but maybe later?)
