Paparazzi as development tool

Lately I’ve incorporated a tool not really made for web design into my web design workflow.

Paparazzi is really for taking full-size screenshots of web pages. I’ve found it invaluable, though, as I’ve been doing more and more strict grid-based design. Being able to quickly get a “birds-eye-view” of the layout I’m working on seems to help me spot errors in the grid very quickly and easily.

It’s just a fast easy for me to make sure everything is lining up as it should be.

On the flip side, I almost never actually capture and save screenshots of these designs — which, of course, is Pararazzi’s intended purpose.

    :D Great job Jeff! I have a “pretty good” grid design up my sleeve at the moment.

    I’m with you., Jeff. I use Pearl Crescent Page Saver in firefox all the time to get a birds eye view of my programmeresque uls and lis.
