It's hard to explain.

Example: right-click on the "Rockman" header. It should say it's a JPG. The problem is, when I save it, it's not saved as a JPG. It saves as a PNG. Problem is, PNG's are really huge. When I change it back to a JPG some of the quality is lost.

Whereas, if I were to take a PRINTSHOT of the Rockman page, I could save that image as a JPG easily (it's just something you can do.) Then I could crop it
