In light of the recent issues with Windows 10 Creators and exporting Studio issues, I did some experimenting with converting Studio (.mms) renderings into jpegs.
Here's what I discovered: the snipping tool is faster and more accurate. In the attached screen shots you can see the image using Studio's export feature cuts off the border in a not very pleasing way and requires some cropping to look good. On the other hand, the snipping tool is WYSIWYG, what you see is what you get, and saves the step of opening imaging editing software to check and crop. The smaller size (485 KB vs. 85 KB) sends faster via email too. Importing that exported or snipped rendering back into Studio, I find the snipped image is a bit clearer, surprisingly!
Another benefit of the snipping tool (or screen capture with a Mac) is there are no extraneous forgotten bits of text or images you've parked outside the drawing space and you can actually expand your drawing space from legal to fit more of the drawing by adding some white rectangles to either side.
