Environment:
- win10 PC notbook
- python 3.9
- PyQt5==5.15.4 pywin32==304 opencv-python==4.5.5.64 Pillow==9.1.0
Question:
I am trying to grab my whole screen by python. The function is easy, but I get a strange question.
The screenshot image is always blurry and unsharp.
- screenshot by windows10 self: windows10 self (PNG)
- screenshot by my codes: my codes (PNG)
My Codes as follows:
import cv2
import os
from PIL import ImageGrab
import numpy as np
if os.path.exists('xx.jpg'):
os.remove('xx.jpg')
captureImage = ImageGrab.grab()
width,height = captureImage.size
img = cv2.cvtColor(np.asarray(captureImage), cv2.COLOR_RGB2BGR)
cv2.imwrite('./xx.jpg',img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
I have try alternative method to achieve screenshot function, just like pyqt5/mss/pywin32/pyautogui, but every method leads to the same question.
And I google lots of articles, I found that my screen has scaled to 125%(as recommended), as follow:
PNG:
So I revise it to 100%, the screenshot is sharp. But 125% is normal and comfortable vision. Then I doubt if it's DPI. But I try these codes, it does not work.
from ctypes import windll
user32 = windll.user32
user32.SetProcessDPIAware()
I am so crazy and curious that how those screenshot software resolve it. After all, we can not ensure every user has the 100% scale and has normal dpi.
I will be grateful if u could give me solutions or advices.
Solution:
Thanks to Christoph Rackwitz.
I had grab a PNG screen and update it and the two PNG image still same. But it's really different in my PC before upload.
I test a lot and I found that I open my codes screenshot by iQIYI Player. But I open windows10 self screenshot by windows Player.
It's the Reason!!!My codes is right and everything is right except iQIYI Player Software. Maybe it's the software bug.
Thanks again.
