Nope mate, Latin America is split into left and right. The left will do left things and the right will do right things.

Have in mind most image processing is done with lowered resolutions for getting more speed. So consider having a downscale parameterized as : image reduction ratio, and method (average, anti aliasing, or just use one of the pixels and discard the others)

Op I think this is an important research, if not for educational purposes, at least to provide a demo to supposedly Microsoft experts how things should be done responsibly.

If nothing else, it encourages discourse in privacy.

I disagree, I'm with OP. screenshots contain (previously) temporary information from all sorts, such as a private meeting between 2 parties with confidencial, eyes only, data. And for going towards extreme privacy end of spectrum, proving you know someone is already a red flag.

If someone has a trojan running with access to the disk, yes it's a big deal. But it's still worth limiting the extent of it by putting extra protection in the things such this. A hacker can have the screenshot files but won't be able to do anything with it.
