Browsers have a standard context menu summoned by right-clicking images, which allows you to save the image (or its URL, or...). I don't think it was ever possible to do that with the I.D., though, as this is not an image. It is a table of images, and if you would click in there the click is interpreted by the browser as a click on one particular square. Very long ago the square would contain the image of the piece on it, but in the modern version the piece is background, and only marked squares contain an image, namely of the marker. (But it is still possible to save images of individual pieces from the piece table.)

I am using Windows 7, and one of the accessories there is a snipping tool for making screenshots. This can be full screen, or a selected rectangular region, or an indicated window. This is what I use for making static images of an I.D. (for the benefit of users that have JavaScript switched off). Usually a take the list of pieces that I tend to display to the right of the I.D. in the screenshot as well. In that case I use MS Paint to edit the image a bit (removing the blue box that says the list is clickable). The images of the individual armies in the CwDA article were directly from the snipping tool.
