Easy to use screenshot app, please?

[jlc1978]

What is your end goal? Is it to:
1. Take a single page snapshot of a website and turn it into a jpeg? If so, in Safari print as pdf and then from Preview Export as jpg or tiff. That will export a single page as a picture
2. Combine multiple pages into one long picture? If so, you'll probably need to use some sort of graphics program to create a large image from the individual ones. Imagemagik will do that via the command line, IIRC.

As a sid note, if you have a large number of photos, copying and pasting the directory into a text editor, creating the command line commands and cutting and pasting it into terminal may save some time

You should try Snagit. That's the only app I know that can do what you want.

There Is a neat little app called Layers (http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30213/layers) that among other things captures entire web pages. It's real claim to fame is that every screen shot produces a Photoshop file in which each element is in a separate layer. It's really neat.

THANK YOU for the reply! I checked out the web site and it directs you to the Apple/Safari Extension page ... and unless I am blind, I did NOT see that application listed! (PS Sorry for the delay in this reply... real life got a little crazeeee!)

Lynn, just click on "Paparazzi!" in my post, it will lead you to the website where you can download it.

Ulenspiegel, THANK YOU for the link! I had actually heard about Paparazzi, but it wasn't in the app store and I couldn't find it. LOL!!! I have it now though, thanks to you! Can't wait to try it out! (PS Please forgive the long delay in my replying... real life has been calling! )

It works perfectly! Exactly what @Tiskers originally asked for. I'm on El Capitan and I'm not seeing any security issues or bugs. And, it's free!

THANK YOU both, I have gotten Paparazzi and am looking forward to using it! You guys are DA BEST!!!

Have you seen this article? Don't use the browser please. http://www.opera.com/blogs/news/201...er&utm_campaign=evergreen_comp_none_250516_gl

GREAT article, I've bookmarked it! THANK YOU! I had NEVER thought of just zooming out if the page is just a little too big for the screen and then doing Command/Shift/4 ... duh! (Probably shouldn't admit that, huh?! )

Droplr (free on the Mac App Store with paid options) captures the entire foreground web page – it does this in order to immediately upload it to their servers with a short-form link. That may or may not be what you want, but it certainly includes what you mentioned.

THANK YOU for the reply and the suggestion! Much appreciated!

Did you happen to read posts #1 and #3 in this thread in their entirety? If so, could you please explain how to use Grab to accomplish the task described in the OP?

My tips (from 2012!) are here:
http://users.tpg.com.au/aoaug/mac_osx.html#Screen_Snapshots
and a simple Applescript here:
http://mpainesyd.com/idisk/Public/snap2GC.scpt
I created an app out of the Applescript and have it in my Dock. The script changes the mouse to crosshairs so you can drag over any part of the screen. When you release the mouse the script opens Graphicconverter and creates a new image from the clipboard. There is a demo video here:

(Poor quality but it demonstrates the process)
