REQ: screenshot text vs graphics (i have a dream)

Question

Okay, here's a rather enthusiastic feature request which i've been nagging lots of devs so far. Without much luck

As a webdesigner i often have to deal with redesigns of special areas of a site. Adjust background graphics a little bit here, move text around a bit there. It'd be an enormous step forward if it'd be possible to take a screenshot of just the text content of a site and the graphics individually. So i could manage 2 layers in Photoshop and work on the graphics without destroying the text.

I guess the entire concept could be expanded to place all graphic objects according to divs or whatever structure of a website in Photoshop layers and so on. But for now the rather small step to have a seperate layer for text and graphics would be a big relief in everydays webdesigner's work.

Hope you get my idea.

Accepted Answer

Got it. But practically have no ideas on how to perform it. Possibly you know?

Well, i guess i'm the wrong to ask - i'm just sitting on the want side of things Since Firebug can distinguish between those different kinds of website content, it might be an idea to look at its source (it's open source, innit?). I guess it's definitely not trivial to accomplish after all, but whose first will most likely get the chicks haha...
