## Real screenshot examples

These 16 representative public-source screenshots were selected from a 225-image regression collection. After PNGs were produced by the actual App processing: 15 iOS UI exports and one Android native App host output. Metadata was removed before import. Fifteen use suggested masks; the patient invoice required manual review and text selection. The group photo uses Solid black and the other examples use Blur. Use Solid black for real credentials. Detection can miss details. Review the whole image before sharing.
