How to take pixel-perfect Normal/Animated images
Note: This guide requires you to have ShareX installed.
Special thanks to Anonymous Joe for creating this guide.
1. First take the animated picture as it typically has larger bounds.
- Click on "Capture" and then click "Region".
- Select the region around the item (Make sure you get a good crop of it).
2. Now take the normal picture (Make sure you do not move your player and that you're in the same position as last time).
- Click on "Capture" and then click "Last region" .
3. Check both images to make sure they are cropped properly, if so upload them to Imgur.
4. Done!
Without ShareX
Note: This guide requires you to be using Windows.

1. Take the Animated image first, and paste it into MS Paint.
2. Take the Normal image, and paste it into another MS Paint window.
3. Maximize both windows.
4. Crop the Animated image. This image is finished.
5. Open the Normal image as your active window.
6. Move it to the approximate location of the Animated one. (Leave it selected)
- Note: Do not click on anything until step 11.
7. Hover over the paint icon (do not click it) until both windows show like so: https://i.imgur.com/ZrPyagv.png
8. Hover over the first one. (This should be your Animated image)
9. Move your mouse away and use your arrow keys to move the Normal image closer to the position of the Animated one.
10. Repeat steps 7-9 until both images are pixel-perfect to each other.
11. Crop the Normal image to the same dimensions as the Animated one, and you're done! (Image dimensions are shown at the bottom of MS Paint.)
Once you get the hang of it, this will become a quick and easy thing to do that only takes a few extra seconds of time.
