I am confused about the difference between a screenshot and a digital photo. I know they are both images, but are they the same? Or is there some fundamental difference between the two?

Screenshots represent a much lesser quality replication of the original photograph.

For instance, if a photo was taken with a high-resolution camera, the screenshot will not capture the full resolution or intricate details that the original image contains.

The reason for this discrepancy lies in the nature of a screenshot. It serves as a capture of the visual content displayed on the screen at a given moment.

When taking a screenshot, the image is saved at the resolution of the screen it's captured on, which is often much lower than the resolution of the original photo.

Additionally, a screenshot does not retain all the data that comprises the original photograph. This includes details such as color accuracy and image depth.
