Hello everyone, I have Scid 4.6.2 and I'm glad to have it! I was wondering if the program comes with a "save position as image" feature. I looked at every option, but could not find it yet. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Yes, it should. Though, I've never had any luck getting a full image, so have always used screenshots from the OS and cropped out what I don't need.

Thanks for your answer. After a bit of research, I found out that it is possible (options-export-LaTeX file text. When I try this, it says  I need to have installed the chess12 package. So I searched a bit on the net and could only find a linux-file of chess12 (.tar.gz). I'm running Windows so this doesn't work for me. Your option of making a screenshot and cropping out what is not needed makes also sense.

In previous versions there was a menu option to export the board image. It would actually produce about a third of the board and the rest would be black.

 

I can look for the exact menu when I get on my computer tomorrow.

WinBoard has a menu item 'Save posiotion as diagram', which saves the displayed board as Windows bitmap file. So you could copy-paste the FEN of the position into WinBoard, and use that. You can select a board theme that looks like a conventional diagram (hatched texture for the black squares, blank for the white squares).

In version 4.3 the option is Tools > Capture Current Board
