screen capture via Shift-Cmd-4 with scroll?

[GavinBKK]

I meant Shift-Cmd-4....

Hardly an Application, but here goes:

My daughter needed some web page content for her homework yesterday, but without the associated ads and crap lining it on either side.

So, I turned to Shift-Cmd-4. No dice. I couldn't get it to scroll, once I had initiated the select-grab function.

Is there a way to scroll whilst using this function?

Workaround?

In the end, btw, I saved the pages required, opened and cropped in Preview, but it was inelegant and inconsistently sized.

TIA!

I know this doesn't answer the scroll in screen capture question ( which i dont think is possible ) but -

If you want to capture a webpage without crud - use Reader in safari . You can highlight & scroll at the same time to copy content. Or - if you need to keep info - get Reader to send to an email, which will open the text in a new email in Mail ( again without crud ).

If that option is not available - use command P ( print) - click on pdf button - save as pdf. Then copy/paste from that.

Thanks ricede - would that get me the images?

[ricede]

Yes - in reader it also includes any pics.

Excellent! I'll give that a go.

Thanks again.
