Rendering an image to a bitmap file

I have never used PW, and I need to create a bitmap file that will print a 1:1 scale image. I found in SW Help that I can render a file to a bitmap file format, but am getting lost in the process. I am not sure what kind of an image the help file is referring to. I had tried an image capture and pasted it into Paint, but the SW background copied with it which will not be acceptable for the end process, and it printed out about 3X larger than created. Maybe there is another way to do this as well, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

How do I create the image? Is it a sketch saved on a part, or the sketch of a feature?

  PhotoWorks creates the image. use Render to File, select a location and filename that you want to save the image as, choose *.bmp as the Format, and click Render. That will create the file in the location you chose. There are quality options you can play with, but those are the basic steps.

Thank you Dan,
What I am finding is that this has to be done at the part level which will not work for my application. I did Render to File with a part to a .bmp file, but SW saved it as a swxJRNL.swj file. For my application I can't have any of the background that comes with the part either.
