This is a very round-about way of doing it, but it works (for PCs at least, I can't speak for Mac-users):

Use the "Print Screen" function to take a snapshot of the entire screen that you're viewing (it should be the "PRNT SCRN" button somewhere in the upper right section of the keyboard; you may need to use shift to activate it). This will create a jpeg image of everything that you see on your computer screen. You'll need to "paste" it into an editing program to crop it.

If you need to zoom in to the photo to get it a little larger, you can use CTRL and the "+" key (CTRL and the "-" key will zoom out again).

Use any image editing software and paste (CTRL-V) the image in there. Crop the image to get rid of the non-photo portion. I use Photoshop for editing, but you can even use MS Paint in a pinch.

Save your image as a jpeg.

I know this sounds ridiculous, but I promise it's quick once you get the hang of it. The big variables are what kinds of programs you have. I'm sure other, more crafty and clever Gamma Phis have figured out easier ways to do this, but this is my method
