I can't believe I am just now discovering this, but if you have duel monitors and do a printscreen, it captures BOTH display devices, not just the one where the active application is being displayed.
If you need to a make a bitmap of a long, narrow image in a hurry, this is one way to do it without having to do any cropping.
The attached file is a screen capture of my laptop on the left (wide screen at 1920x1200) and my ViewSonic P220f crt on the right (at 2048x1536). Because the two display devices have different aspect ratios, the black area at the bottom of the left half was added automatically to make up the difference.
