This has the same issue as most screenshot software, it's out of date relative to modern devices. Every Mac laptop for the last ~4 years has an HDR display. Many windows devices are also HDR. But this app doesn't capture HDR.

I tried putting up an HDR image and then capturing the screen. All HDR brightness was gone from the image.

I get it's not easy per-se. It wasn't until MacOS Tahoe that Apple's own screen capture on Mac started supporting HDR. Windows 10/11, AFAIK, only supports HDR through the XBox Game Bar's capture. Apps like ShareX still only capture SDR.

I mostly bring that up because I have apps the draw HDR and spent some time trying to find ways to add tests that we're actually getting HDR on the screen using screen captures. I hit a wall and gave up (2021).
