Full size screen shot?

[Nerdest]

This should be simple enough and as I get more Photoshop experience things like this will not stump me. I have downloaded a couple of free website templates and one has a Photoshop screen shot showing the whole index page from top to bottom. It shows much more than what you see doing a normal screenshot by hitting the "Ctrl+PrtScr" keys. The other template doesn't have a screen shot. I cannot find how to do a screenshot showing the whole index page from top to bottom, you know below where you can scroll. So how is this done? When I do the "Ctrl+PrtScr" it only shows the visible portion of the index page. Help!

Hey, thanks! Another toy for my toy box.

My favorite is Faststone Capture. It's invaluable, especially when you are trying to explain how to do something on the computer. I use it at least a couple of times per day.

It allows you to capture:

the full screen
the active window,
objects,
menus,
arbitrarly rectangular areas,
freehand areas,
fixed regions,
scrollable windows,
tall web pages,
pages that include animations or movies,
etc.

That being said, assuming you are using a PC, the various flavors of "PrtScn", ie, alt-PrtScn, cntrl-PrtScn, etc. allow one to do quite a bit without using a 3rd party utility. Wikipedia has a nice discussion of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Print_screen .

Here's what 5 cntrl-PrtScn, cntrl-V operations can give you. It has deep meaning. I call it, "The Introspection of Photoshop". I understand it's listed as a condition in the new DSM-5.
