Quickly create screenshots with Paparazzi
Here's an
interesting utility. Paparazzi! allows you to quickly take a
screenshot of just about any website without having to launch a browser. Just enter the URL of the site you're after
and click the "Capture" button. Once the image has loaded, adjust the size (using either the default options
or your own guidelines) and the crop area and you're done. Click "Save Image As..." and you've got it. Paparazzi is universal and free (requires Mac OS 10.3 or later).

Whoa; linkage!
Now that that's over with...
As the current author of said application, I feel I should address a few things (not to be defensive, or anything):
Flash capturing was working for me on my TiBook (!) under 10.3.9, but it's not under 10.4.5. I have a fix in-place on my local copy, though I had to use some secret CoreGraphics functions.
For the people that want the ability to select a region of a live web page: You're right, that's something that should be added; my only concern is wrecking the way it works now.
At any rate, this app isn't for everyone, and I myself really only use it while testing. It's just really fun to write.
Am I the only one who had problem with a flash website ? The capture has blanks, where there is suppose to be some flash animations.

March 29 2006 at 2:45 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyAs a graphic designer, this is an excellent way of capturing some of my web design work to put it in my portfolio. The old way of doing things was to take a screencap, scroll down, take a screencap, scroll down... then bring everything into Photoshop and stitch it all together. Since websites are updated so often, this becomes a tedious task. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like Paparazzi will become a great tool for me.

Allow you to set a standard capture size at least, so you do not have to edit further if placing several such surfs elsewhere.
And I think it might capture a full page without scrolling. Hard to tell from this article though.
Oh, wait, I think I have actually used this. It does do the entire page thing. Be careful about setting the resolution of the image however - it resamples, and what you save may not necessarily be readable later.
Don O'Shea, right I know about apple shift 4, but like dashiel said, this is for beyond VISIBLE web screen page. The entire thing. I love it.
March 29 2006 at 1:26 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI fail to see the point of this. Instead of using a browser to view the site, this program does. Instead of having the option of selective copy/paste to preserve the "live" elements of a site in a program like Word or sent in an email program like Thunderbird, for example, you're left with a dumbed down pic.
Whoop. Eee.
yes, but this app takes a screen shot of an entire web page, beyond the scroll. you can't do that with command-shift-3 or command-shift-4. for web developers it's great.
