What is the difference between using the map option to create an image and using the photo camera in the buttons on the right? One is jpg and the other png. With maps you can choose the resolution. But otherwise I can't find any differences. What am I missing?

If you are on the latest update, you can set the resolution of your photos in settings. png was the winner in the end and is saved by both methods as that worked most consistently across Win, Linux and Mac

Thanks. Still don't get the fundamental difference between clicking the camera icon for an image and clicking a resolution in the map submenu.

I had 2 separate scripts initially.

The one on the camera captured everything, but was limited to the resolution of the screen and also didnt work well on Linux.

When i added map making support, i needed it to be higher resolution, so i used a different script that could do 8k, the caveat was it did not capture the lensflare, which wasnt a big deal for maps

Now ive got a different screenshot script that does everything, captures high res and lensflares and works on Linux.

The 2 options exist since it is just legacy ui. if you want to take a photo, press the photo icon, if you want to make a map, press it there.
