he he, tricky, you want a web browser that can be controlled by code and a
screen capture that can be controlled by code,

konqueror has dcop.
I have no suggestions for screen grabber, but Im sure there is one.

Then you will want to reduce the size. php can do that bit with gd (or
better gd2).

It will be processor & bandwidth intensive. and difficult.

you have been warned.
