"Open World Shutter" is a desktop screenshotting tool to make your game captures more fun! Take screenshots with varying exposure lengths. How will you set up your shots?

OWS is written in python using mss, cv2, and pyQT. Images are captured of an application window and then are saved, keeping track of average pixels, brightest pixels, and darkest pixels. Video timelapses are also supported!
