The tool would be excellent if only there really was an option to turn off screen dimming / overlay. Every single screen snip I take now has a dark gray overlay and is generally unusable. We use screen snips / screenshots for customer service, developing training material, diagnosing incidents and software issues, creating presentations, etc. The lack of an option to turn off screen dimming makes snipping tool pretty much unusable in our environment. PLEASE bring back the option to disable this! - Jon
