Like can we already make CAMERA APP that would be used purely to take pics of SCREENS and make them look like an actual screenshots. FIRST they look ugly SECOND IT WOULDNT FEEL EMBARASSING. (Not for me i dont care). Pic self portrait.

Wrong community, that is a top tier meme
I made this post while shitting in toilet
Yeah this is USDM Grade A material right here
Take screenshot on computer and use file sharing with Google drive or something
You have to print it first. It’s basic screen sharing!
most phones and OSes have a way to quickly share files between them, it’s a RTFM job
Make a group in your preferred chat app (WhatsApp, telegram, discord, signal, whatever). You’re the only person in this group. Take a screenshot and share it to this group. Now you can open the messaging app on whichever device you want and the picture is right there for you.
Signal and Telegram have a ‘Saved Messages’ chat by default
Telegram already has a “Saved Messages” for this. No need to create anything.
Whatever method you use there is nothing quicker than pulling out phone and taking pic with camera thats why i say it has to be camera app
All right, run a custom camera app that detects when your screen is in frame and triggers a screenshot capture on your desktop, then syncs the screenshot to your phone.
Honestly, if you already have it set up to automate printing the screen and saving it as an image, then seamlessly syncing that file with your phone, I don’t even think you need to worry about making an app or dealing with the phone camera. If you can set that process to trigger on a single button press, that’d be wayyy faster and easier.
Some apps like GoodNotes have a document scanner to format pictures of rectangular objects. This could possibly work.
lol I use video of my TV to blow up my brother’s phone with sports highlights all the time. If you crop them they don’t look that bad.
If you’re talking about your computer and you have access to its keyboard, you can’t beat screenshot keyboard shortcuts!
But if you’re talking about your TV or some screen you’re not in control of, fair enough. For anyone wondering, the reason this is tough to correct with an app is because your little bitty lens is trying to capture a grid of millions of LEDs to your itty bitty camera’s sensor, which has its own pixel grid that almost certainly doesn’t match up with the grid you’re photographing. Also, photographing a colored light source makes white balance tricky for any camera, and this is a bunch of light sources that are kind of in motion, because LEDs give off rapid pulses of light, not a steady light. Modern camera apps are getting better at antialiasing to smooth it all out and using AI models to try to guess what the image was supposed to look like, but you’ll usually still see some Moire effect from those mismatched grids. I wonder if we’ll ever see a solution to this while LED screens continue to exist in their current form.
We’re pretty lucky we can capture a shitty image of what’s onscreen, though. Just ask anybody who’s tried to photograph a CRT.
We need to invent new screens, thats harder than i thought
Use a film camera, then photograph the print
Title text: ♫ When the spacing is tight / And the difference is slight / That’s a moiré ♫
When the jaws open wide with another set inside
That’s a Moray
I don’t think it would be hard to make an app like that, given that current phones camera resolutions are much larger than resolutions of screens and very often you can see individual pixels or even subpixels on a photo, but I think the biggest problem would be an accurate representation of colors, but I might be wrong, I am not an expert.
