I am trying to take a screenshot of a webpage I have accessed using selenium web driver. I then want to crop the screenshot to only return a specific element. This happens to be an image. I cannot grab the image file by the location, since re-requesting the same src will generate a different file. I am unable to specify the image height and width as this will be dynamic. Using the following code, I am able to successfully return the image height and width, however the screenshot that is saved is not the image, but another part of the page with the same dimensions as the image, which leads me to believe the location must be wrong? Here's the code: IWebElement image = [login to view URL]([login to view URL]("//*[@id='hipTemplateContainer']/div[1]/img")); [login to view URL]("{0} {1} {2} {3}",image.Location.X, image.Location.Y, [login to view URL], [login to view URL]); TakeScreenshot(driver, image); private static void TakeScreenshot(IWebDriver driver, IWebElement element) { try { string fileName = [login to view URL]("yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss") + ".jpg"; Byte[] byteArray = ((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot().AsByteArray; [login to view URL] screenshot = new [login to view URL](new [login to view URL](byteArray)); [login to view URL] croppedImage = new [login to view URL](element.Location.X, element.Location.Y, [login to view URL], [login to view URL]); screenshot = [login to view URL](croppedImage, [login to view URL]); [login to view URL]([login to view URL](@"C:\Users\Sam\Desktop\Images\" + fileName, [login to view URL])); } catch (Exception e) { [login to view URL]([login to view URL] + ' ' + [login to view URL]); } I have tried to wait for the page to finish loading, that made no difference. I have tried to get the parent element, but that also returned the wrong sizing.
