Pressing Alt-PrintScreen in Windows for taking a quick screenshot of the visible portion of a web page works just fine, but when you want to capture the entire height and save an image of what exists both above and below the fold, you need a dedicated tool.
I need a free piece of software for the Windows enviroment that does this kind of job. I'm aware that such software exists for the Mac - Paparazzi! (http://www.derailer.org/paparazzi/).

Faststone Capture can do that, but unfortunately, it's the only piece of shareware faststone has (the other great apps are all freeware).

nup i cant find one

i thought id found one but its just some runescape thing, lol

I believe you will find what you need on the following page: http://mashable.com/2007/08/24/web-screenshots/

You have some options, right now i remember these:

• URL2BMP
• URL2JPG
• Browsershots

Best regards,

oh yeah i forgot about browsershots
although if he wants his own program to do it himself then he cant use that, or if its just on his computer.

browsershots would be fine though if you just needed the screenshot.

Firefox has an extension that does that. Screen Grab! is the name...

I currently use snagit from techsmith i think it is. It's a pretty good screenshot program that can also be used to take video and also scrolling web pages.
It comes with a nice screenshot editor that has plenty of functions for putting finishing touches on your shots. It also works in directx games and you can capture any region of the screen, you can even convert text in images to editable text.

Works wonders
Forgot the link though, just search google for 'snagit'

-HellFire

I second SnagIt's software and use both the screenshot capture and video capture feature. This is not a free program though. You can get the trial program at:

If you like it, I highly recommend buying it.

I remember when we had to create inhouse and public training material we used a program called Camtasia Studio or something along that name. I don't know what the current version is but i was better than doing the [Print Screen] or the [Alt + Print Screen]. You should see if you can find it when you have time and give the demo a try. I just might work.
