Exporting Maps as Images

The idea would be to Flatten a map into a single image and export it to your computer. This could allow you to use Roll20 as a map designer tool, and allow you to save a map for later use on and off Roll20.  It would also help long load times. Say you've made a map in Roll20 because it had a great map making system, but now you have 200+ objects that take forever to load. You could export your map, grid and all, as a flat PNG or JPEG image, and then re-upload it and use it a single image background. This would really cut load times. Thoughts, comments, questions?

Would be nice. You can do this in MapTool right now... and it's actually how I make my larger maps.

I agree this would be a good feature.  I agree it would help with map load-times if you've drawn a lot of objects.  Also it would help with keeping a paper (or digital file) record and copy of the campaign progress, for those who like to post Actual Play stories on forums. In turn, by people posting their Roll20 map creations on other forums, and it looks very cool, would help to attract more interest and Players for Roll20! FOR NOW the only workaround solution I know is to take screenshots.  You can use the "PrtScr" button on your keyboard.  It makes a photo copy of whatever is on your screen, in your copy-paste memory.  Next open a program like Photoshop, GIMP (free), or MS Paint.  Open a new document and press "Paste" (control-V on your keyboard).  The screenshot will appear in your graphics program.  Next simply save the file as a JPEG.  The problem with this method is the picture is low resolution, and only shows 1 screen (not scrolling around the larger map).
