How to - take screenshots WITHOUT the "status bar"

Hi iPhone lovers,

For a new application release to the AppStore, we need to create snapshots without the 20 pixel "status bar".

Cropping the image manually is not an option because of all the language localizations...

Thanks in advance for shedding some light on this,

Well you are only talking to users here, not Apple.

As for your request. Due to limitation no app can run in the background thus no app can be made by anybody else to take screen shots (except one can be made to take screen shot of itself).

A simple work around is:
Take a screen shot.
Go to Camera Roll.
View Image.
Zoom in just a little bit until status bar is not showing.
Screen shot again (as the photo app when you wait will hide everything but the image).
Yes you lose a little bit, but that is about the best you can do.

Good point about what appears to be mono tasking...

Any hidden settings in Camera Roll that would leave the status bar out?
