Hi,  
How can I export an image of a selected node without its children?

A node that has children would always be a group node correct? I don’t think there are any options to do that but you could simply set the visibility of the children to false (set the opacity to zero) and then render the node. But then, I believe what you would be rendering would be an empty group node and the rendered image would be blank.
