When I use the screenshot app, the image that's generated is very dark, as compared with the original display. What can I do to fix this?
For instance, my screen appears white as I enter this post. However, a screen grab of the post is very grey. This makes the app pretty much unusable for me.
Mac mini 2018 or later
What is the display you are using and what is the setting in System Preferences->Displays->Color?
Hey there new_mac_amateur,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having some issues using a screenshot app. We're happy to provide some assistance.
To clarify, is this a third-party app? If so, we recommend contacting the app developer:

Hi there,
I have resolved the problem. It was due to a brightness slider I had installed on my toolbar. It seems brightness must be set at 100% for the Mac OS provided Screenshot application to work correctly.
Thanks very much to Apple Support for helping me out (I had contacted them shortly after submitting my post).
:)
