How do you take a screenshot without the UI?

Just press Print Scrn to take the shot and then look in your Screenshots folder in your City of Heroes folder. Easy enough.

But doesn't the UI (the status bars, menus, chat windows, power trays) still show up doing it that way?
The command is "/screenshotui 0"
I can see forever 0.0

Nope. They are all saved as full screen JPEGs that DO NOT have the UI in them (or speech balloons)

I knew there was some way. Thank you very VERY much! 
you can also make a keybind in your keybinding section of the options to toggle the UI screen pics on and off. I use the "." on the numpad. Or you can take a screenshot like normal, open up Paint, and paste.

Clearing all this up:
By default, screen shots do not have the UI shown. They are saved as JPEG images in the /screenshots folder under your City of Heroes directory.
If you *want* the UI to show, type in /screenshotui 1. The UI will show from then on.
To turn it off, use /screenshotui 0.
I have a bind set to shift+print screen (actually sysrq) that takes the screenshot with the UI:
/bind shift+sysrq "screenshotui 1$$screenshot##screenshotui 0"
I'm sure this has been covered before, but my search fu is weak and I'm a bit pressed for time and need some UI-less screen caps for a project. Thanks so much and again I apologize for something that I'm sure has been talked to death. I'm just new to the whole screenies thing.
