Hi HN,

I found I spent alot of time, zooming in and out of web pages to get high resolution screenshots for documentation for the apps and websites I made, so I made a Chrome Extension that makes is super simple. Just launch the extension on any website, choose from either 5 times zoom, 10 times zoom or a fixed width or height and then just drag a box around what you want to capture and you'll then get a super high dpi screenshot.

Let me know if you find it useful or have any questions. Also, please let me know if you find any sites where the screenshots aren't right, some sites do funny things with CSS which throws the extension off.

Does it work for capturing the entire page automatically?

It doesn't capture the entire page, just whatever you drag a box around and you have to do the box drawing yourself so that part is not automatic. I could add a button to capture the entire visible page, but it would only be able to capture what is visible on your screen (i.e. not stuff that you can't see because you haven't scrolled to it) because of the limitations of the Chrome Extension API
