Harvesting and Comparing Screenshots of menus and dialog boxes

Hi:

We are a software company. Our product (Dialogue) is very expansive
with lots of menus, dialog boxes, etc in the GUI. We use unstructured
FM 7.2.

Every time we have a new release, undoubtedly some (or many) of the
software's menus and dialog boxes change due to enhancements. This
requires us to identify these changes (somehow) and re-do any
screenshots in our documentation and training materials.

Is anyone aware of a tool that can go through an application and
harvest screenshots of all menus and dialog boxes? Then, would it be
able to compare screenshots of the last version to indicate where
changes have occurred on the GUI?

Any suggestions or resources would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Loren
