iPhone screenshot quality is low when capturing images. Why ?

I took screenshots in iPhone5 and the Quality of the PNG screenshots is low.


This happens only when we are capturing a screenshot in the iPhone which has image in it's screen...


If the the screenshot has GUI of an App, it has 100% Quality in the screenshot.


I am a UI designer & I would like to show my works by the iPhone screenshots in PC..


I suggest you to check out the same before answering my question..


I have attached the screenshots (includes zoomed view)...


Any solution for this ? Am i the only one who have this problem ?


Screenshot Details :

- Taken in iPhone5 and iPhone 4S

- in iOS7

- Taken October 11, 2013

- images imported by Syncing to iPhones in iTunes and exported to PC


iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.2

Sorry for wasting everybody's time,


I have found the proper method to export screenshots from iPhone, (mailing it to myself with 'actuals size' setting),


I think there was a problem when exporting the image to my system which caused less quality on screenshot,


I have understood that Apple reducing the quality to facilitate image sharing faster...


Thank you for wasting your time.


If this helped for somebody, please come back and acknowledge.


Thank you.
