Not the parent but that was not at all clear to me. I immediately thought of taking multiple successive instantaneous screenshots and then stacking them. I'm not sure I would have thought of using a camera within a few minutes to an hour, it's not a tool I would ever reach for normally.

Because the context is about screenshots and context matters

You mean like all of the context I used describing something not a screenshot. Being able to pick up on context clues from the reading is a crucial skill one should have in life. It also makes one look less clueless in conversation when the topics shift quickly and one can keep up.

None of this warrants the type of response they got, nor your attitude.

Periods go inside of quotes, even mealy mouthed shock quotes because an internet abbreviation made you upset.

Nah it's your attitude that brings nothing worthwhile.

Oh, so your screenshot utility has "long exposure" and an "ND" filter and "shutter speed" controls, just like a phone's camera? What kind of screenshot utility simulates optical camera effects? What purpose does that serve? Care to share a link to it?

>Obviously harder to expose a bright screen without some ND since the shutter speed is the phone's main exposure control
