Description
It will be useful to give guidelines for taking good screenshots.
For web browser screenshots
- Use a browser extension like Window Resizer (not necessarily the best, just the first result) to keep a consistent size.
- Either use the build-in developer tools (F12 on Linux or Windows) and the 📷 button, or a screenshot browser extension to take the screenshot. Or Firefox has a new built-in screenshot thing: https://screenshots.firefox.com/, it looks like this makes it very easy to screenshot a single element of a page (e.g. a dialog) so there's no need to crop afterwards.
For other screenshots
- Use the correct shortcut to take the screenshot. Especially on Windows and Linux, there are shortcuts to screenshot only a single window, which saves cropping: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/windows.html
- There are also tools to resize windows to specific sizes
Both
- Investigate whether it's better for screenshots to be taken at 2× resolution, so they don't look fuzzy when shown on HiDPI screens.
- Investigate how the screenshots are scaled in the created document
Automation
- It would be possible to automate the screenshots, for example to re-run all the screenshots with the tool set to a different language, but setting up and maintaining this is probably more work than is reasonable.
