Take a screen shot of a scrolling window that includes off-screen parts [closed]

On the Mac, how can I take a screen shot of a window that includes the parts that are off-screen and need scrolling to become visible?

"LittleSnapper will capture whole web pages, but not capture scrolled window contents in applications such as Finder.

Here is a website with 6 Screenshot Utilities (including LittleSnapper and some others that will capture whole pages).

There is a utility specifically for Finder listings called Print Window."

"While Little Snapper can take a picture of an entire web page, and Layers can capture every element on your screen (including stuff that’s hidden by other windows in front of it)—it’s unlikely you will find an application that can take a picture of the off-screen regions of a window.

The reason is that many applications don’t draw the off-screen portion until it’s needed. Often that part of the display isn’t even rendered until you scroll it into view. So a theoretical “whole window” snapper would capture a lot of blank or undefined areas."

Shift-Cmd-4, then press the spacebar.

For Firefox centric usage, Awesome Screenshot addon is pretty great and allows snapping entire web pages.

"This drove me crazy for a while, too. But here's how you do it in little snapper:

Open the web page you want to capture
Click on the LittleSnapper icon in the toolbar at the top of your screen (looks like a camera lens)
Select 'Open current website in LittleSnapper' (I've found that this works for Safari but not Chrome)
In the LittleSnapper browser, click the camera icon to 'Snap the current webpage'"
