--- Comment #18 from Eamonn Rea <eamonn...@protonmail.com> --- It might end up being a lot of work (as based on your description of how it currently works, it may need to be re-implemented), and should probably be a separate issue, but maybe there could be an option to only allow region screenshots on one screen at a time? This could be useful if you want to capture specifics of one screen without the risk of bleeding a few pixels into another screen. I believe macOS limits you to taking a region screenshot on one screen, but macOS also doesn't let you take a screenshot of menus and doesn't pause the display content like Spectacle does. While not pausing the window content could be one solution, having an option to locking region select to one display could be more advantageous. Primarily though, I am thinking it could help to solve our problem here of a region screenshot being a cropped "all screens" screenshot. If we could have an option to limit the region screenshot to one screen (and thus the "dimming" effect would only appear on one screen), we could avoid all of the scaling issues here if my understanding is correct, and thus avoid all of the scaling up and back down. We could capture the display with the "Current Monitor" screenshot and crop that, as that option works perfectly fine in terms of quality and resolution. Again, it's something I'd be happy to file in a separate issue, but I am asking here in case it would be a non-starter. I think the option to restrict region screenshots to a single display is not only a good way to work around this issue and give a better out-of-box behaviour, but has actual tangible benefits for making it easier to take screenshots. Having a way to limit the region screenshot to just one screen would be helpful for increasing precision especially at higher mouse sensitivities. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
