Is it possible to convert an object to a texture?

Take a snapshot of it?
I make some of my textures in-world by building stuff out of prims, taking a pic of it in-world (snapshot to disk, usually), and then exporting that to Photoshop to manipulate into the texture I need. You then import the texture back into SL to use.
You can save a lot of prims on window frames and doors that have multi-pane glass, or on things like detailed stair railings. I positiion a fullbright solid-coliored prim behind the object to make it easier to eliminate the background in Photoshop.
