Those who do blogging either as hobby or as business surely sometimes need screenshots of different web pages. I use to write how to or tutorials on my blog. As blogging is my hobby as well as business I always try to make my blog posts as much reader friendly as I can. To make my blog posts attractive and effective I always use relative images & screenshots so that readers do not feel bored with only text. What I feel, screenshots are great for illustrating blog posts.
For long days, I am using Pearl Crescent Page Saver to capture full page screenshot or visible portion screenshots of any web page. Although, “Print Screen” button is available on windows system, it only capture the area what is currently visible.
Pearl Crescent Page Saver is an extension for Mozilla Firefox that lets you capture images of web pages, including Flash content. These images can be saved in PNG or JPEG format. Using Page Saver, you can capture an entire page or just the visible portion. You can control the image capture process via a wide variety of settings, including the image file name and scale (e.g., save at 50% of original size).
Getting interested? Okay, let me help you to become familiar with Pearl Crescent Page Saver.
First, point your Firefox browser to Crescent Page Saver Extension’s website. Then click theInstall Crescent Page Saver Basic link (as it is free. If you have money you can purchase the Pro version).

If nothing pop-ups, your Firefox might block you from installing extension from that website. In this case, you will find a allow button located at the top right corner just under the Tab bar. Now, click on the “Allow” button. Firefox will start installation the plugin.

After you have finished downloading the extension, restart Firefox to install the extension.

How to save screenshots:
To save a web page as image, Right click, if you want to save only the visible part, choose Save Image of Visible Portion As… , and to save the full page as image, choose Save Image of Entire Page As…. If the website is blocking you from doing right click, you can press the small Camera button on Firefox toolbar.

To configure the screenshot options go to Tools > Add ons> Extensions > Select Crescent Page Saver > Press Options to change the Crescent Page Saver preference.

Or, Click on the down arrow beside the camera button as shown above. A drop down menu will appear. Select “Page Saver option” and configure it.
The Pearl Crescent Page saver Pro version is more customizable. There is a comparison table available on the product page.
