[IDV #IFC-104064]: how to save as tif

You could use a screen grabber program like Gimp or if on Windows, just
use Alt-PrintScreen to capture the window.

Another option would be to run the VisAD spreadsheet which does have a
capture to JPEG option.  The Omni Control is really just a VisAD 
SpreadSheet cell.  You can run the SpreadSheet by typing:

jre/bin/java -Xmx512m -jar visad.jar

in the directory where you installed the IDV.  From the File menu,
use the Import Data option to open your netCDF file.  Set up your
display as you did in the omni control and then use the File->
Take JPEG snapshot to save an individual frame as you step through
the animation.

Sorry we didn't have a solution for you with the IDV.
