The first screenshots were created with the first interactive computers around 1960.[1] Through the 1980s, computer operating systems did not universally have built-in functionality for capturing screenshots. Sometimes text-only screens could be dumped to a text file, but the result would only capture the content of the screen, not the appearance, nor were graphics screens preservable this way. Some systems had a BSAVE command that could be used to capture the area of memory where screen data was stored, but this required access to a BASIC prompt. Systems with composite video output could be connected to a VCR, and entire screencasts preserved this way.[2]
Screenshot kits were available for standard (film) cameras that included a long antireflective hood to attach between the screen and camera lens, as well as a closeup lens for the camera. Polaroid film was popular for capturing screenshots, because of the instant results and close-focusing capability of Polaroid cameras. In 1988, Polaroid introduced Spectra film with a 9.2 7.3 image size more suited to the 4:3 aspect ratio of CRT screens.
On Windows systems, screenshots of games and media players sometimes fail, resulting in a blank rectangle. The reason for this is that the graphics are bypassing the normal screen and going to a high-speed graphics processor on the graphics card by using a method called hardware overlay. Generally, there is no way to extract a computed image back out of the graphics card,[citation needed] though software may exist for special cases or specific video cards.
Some companies believe the use of screenshots is an infringement of copyright on their program, as it is a derivative work of the widgets and other art created for the software.[5][6][7] Regardless of copyright, screenshots may still be legally used under the principle of fair use in the U.S. or fair dealing and similar laws in other countries.[8][9]
I am adding screenshots with max 1920px into Figma and see everything pixelated. Another issue is that added screenshots in FigJam are not visible to all people I share boards with, forcing us to use traditional screen sharing which defeats the purpose of sharing boards.
During my day I normally take some screenshots with snipping tool, windows tool, copy and send this to someone, but when I close the snipping tool evernote save this screenshot as a note, and this is really annoying. I've made some researches and didn't found anything about how to stop this behavior, can I stop this?
Images and screenshots can be a nice addition to a post, but please make sure the post is still clear and useful without them. Don't post images of code or error messages. Instead copy and paste or type the actual code/message into the post directly.
I think screenshots of errors and code can be useful but only as supplementary information to the actual code/error as text. I find it helpful to see the actual error window sometimes as it helps me remember where I've seen this before or where exactly the error is coming from.

I agree that most screenshots of code are pure lazyness. And especially because putting stuff in working code will force you to think about what you've done, it is good to enforce a rule like: 'avoid posting screenshots of code'.
But, I can think of a good reason to add screenshots and sometimes even omit the code itself. IDE's like Android Studio can display lots of debug info right next to the code, which will often show that the problem you have is not because of bad input values. Then, the code itself may just be disturbing extra and the screenshot may be much more useful. Moreover, in a screenshot you can grab multiple parts of multiple windows, which can give a good overview.
String that represents the platform to which the screenshot applies. This should be used when a screenshot is only applicable to a specific device or distribution platform. User agents should not show screenshots that contain a platform value that differs from the current platform (for example, Google Play should not show screenshots whose platform is "ios").

Under Xcode 6 & newer, device screenshots taken with the "Take Screenshot" button in the Xcode "Devices" menu will end up on the desktop. Look for a file named "Screen Shot 2014-MM-DD at HH.MM.SS.png"
For Xcode 5 & older, if you create screenshots from within Xcode (Organizer), you'll find these in /Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Screenshots. To take screenshots from the Xcode (Organizer) you need to have hardware device attached. The organizer does not appear to take screenshots from the simulator.
I went through all the posts for which I could not find where the screenshots are saved...So, I just used command+shift+4, after releasing the keys you will see a bull eye in your mouse pointer. Click and drag the section of the screen you want to copy. Once releasing your mouse click the image will be stored in your desktop. Better than figuring out where Simulator stores screenshots.
We bring together everything that is required to design and generate screenshots for your iOS and Android apps in a matter of minutes. From a single responsive design, AppScreens exports all required screenshot sizes for apps on the Apple App &...
some of them are just words which can type manually in to obsidian or by using OCR . but in some of them , words and images support each other , of course I can just paste this screenshot into obsidian ,but I was afraid some day these raw screenshots will take up too much storage (even larger than the threshold mentioned in official sync doc)
I have a macbook pro running on iOS 12.1 macOS Monterey. Today I had to restart my computer during class because it was frozen. After the restart, my files and screenshots on my desktop disappeared. They weren't physically showing on my desktop but they were in the desktop folder in finder.
Something else I noticed after the restart was that whenever I took a screenshot (command+shift+4), they were not popping up in the bottom right corner of my screen to edit, or on my desktop. However, when I went to the desktop folder in finder, the screenshots were there.
Your App Store screenshots are probably the most important thing when it comes to convincing potential users to download or purchase your app. Unfortunately, many apps don't do screenshots well. This is often because taking screenshots of your app and then preparing them for display is time consuming, and it's hard to get everything right and consistent! For example:
Manually taking screenshots takes too much time, which also decreases the quality of the screenshots. Since it is not automated, the screenshots will show slightly different content on the various devices and languages. Many companies choose to create screenshots in one language and use them for all languages. While this might seem okay to us developers, there are many potential users out there that cannot read the text on your app screenshots if they are not localised. Have you ever looked at a screenshot with content in a language you don't know? It won't convince you to download the app.
However, the biggest disadvantage of this method is what happens when you need to repeat the process. If you notice a spelling mistake in the screenshots, if you release an update with a new design, or if you just want to show more up to date content, you'll have to create new screenshots for all languages and devices... manually.
While this is convenient, this approach has the same problems as the device frame approach: The screenshots don't actually show how the app looks on the user's device. It's a valid way to start though, since you can gradually overwrite screenshots for specific languages and devices.
If you followed the setup guide, you already ran fastlane init before, so you should have your existing screenshots and metadata inside the fastlane/screenshots and fastlane/metadata directory. Running fastlane snapshot will store the screenshots in the fastlane/screenshots directory by default.
If you want to upload the screenshots to the App Store, you have to provide a Framefile.json, with titles and background, otherwise the resolution of the framed screenshots doesn't match the requirements of App Store Connect.
If any error occurs while running the snapshot script on a device, that device will not have any screenshots, and snapshot will continue with the next device or language. To stop the flow after the first error, run
Specify multiple argument strings and snapshot will generate screenshots for each combination of arguments, devices, and languages. This is useful for comparing the same screenshots with different feature flags, dynamic text sizes, and different data sets.
When you run unit tests in Xcode, the reporter generates a plist file, documenting all events that occurred during the tests (More Information). Additionally, Xcode generates screenshots before, during and after each of these events. There is no way to manually trigger a screenshot event. The screenshots and the plist files are stored in the DerivedData directory, which snapshot stores in a temporary folder.
