I use PicPick to do my screen captures, but when the capture is relatively long, the end result is often a long narrow capture in the middle of the screen that is so small it is totally unreadable. Has anyone found a way of opening up this capture so that it fits onto a number of , say, A4 sheets, however many it requires, so that it can not only be read but also printed.

You could use the editor built into PicPick or Paint to edit the screenshot file. You could then cut up the image so each part will just fit on an A4 screen. You might have to experiment to see how tall each part is.

Thanks for the reply MisterEd.

That however sound like a lot of unwanted work, which I clearly mistakenly assumed scrolling captures were designed to prevent your having to do. It seems as though they will capture a certain length, where the image continues to fill enough of the screen width like endless toilet paper and is still readable, but as the capture continues the image gets narrower and narrower until it is a thin strip in the middle of the screen and hopelessly unreadable. Surely these applications should subsequently have a facility for expanding the capture back to a readable condition, or else what's the point of them?

Are all scrolling screen capture applications the same and has no-one yet developed an application that will lengthen the capture until it all fills the width of the screen once again, so that it not only can be read but also printed?
