Save maps as a bitmap

Script Title:
Save maps as a bitmap script
RMXP or RMVX:
RMXP
Detailed Description:
The situation:
I have a map, 30x25 for example and I want to make a lighteffect therefore. Ingame I can´t make a screenshot of the whole map, because there is only 20x15 tiles to see. I can make of course several screenshots and string these together, but on larger maps,e.g. 200x150, it´s simply impossible.
The searched script:
Now I need a script or something else, how saves the whole map as a picture, like bitmap, .png and so on. So I could open that in Photoshop or Gimp and make a lighteffect, that I open anon in the maker.
Screen shots:
I think, a screenshot is not necessary, because everybody can imagine what I need.
Other Scripts I am using (in order):
As yet, I´m only using the Sideview Battle System Tankentai XP

I hope you can help me, with this script.
 
Try searching map screenshot maker. I believe there was a script by that name posted in late 2008. I'm not sure if it was for VX or XP, but if it is for VX, you could easily post a conversion request in the Conversion Station.
 
you could also take a screenshot in the maker itself, zoomed out, then adjust the image size , via an easy: "image size" x4 or x8 with a calculator. then make your lighting map, not like you need a perfect crisp screenshot to get the lighting right
