Paparazzi usually does a decent job of capturing an entire web layout and has options for cropping and scaling -- but it doesn't always display content presented dynamically with JavaScript, with Flash, or video. Grab (which comes bundled with OSX) has the ability to capture an entire screen, a specific window, or a selected area. From what you described in your article, Voila would make my workflow easier by enabling me to do complete common actions within one interface. I would really love to be able to blur out portions of an interface in order to obscure private information -- or even to set focus on a specific area. Does the tool allow for non-destructive editing (i.e., I could capture one screenshot and present one non-blurred portion, and show focus on say a login box, and then show where a help dialog/box was)? I also could really use the content management/organization features. It looks like it supports sorting into folders. Can meta-data be added to (e.g., tagging images)? I enjoyed this post and the one on workflow one or two posts back. I've added you to my favorite RSS feeds. Keep up the great work!
