My murdered checkerboard.
SUMMARY
Spectacle's magnifier is interpolated with some bilinear-like filter, it makes
selecting an exact pixel impossible by turning crisp pixel boundaries into
eye-melting mush.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use the magnifier in Spectacle, hold shift by default
2. Mouse over a sharp pixel bound (for instance, the micro checkerboard
attached)
3. Attempt to figure out where one pixel truly ends
4. Despair because this is extra processing for a worse UX
OBSERVED RESULT
Mush
DESIRED RESULT
Crisp lines, the pixels that really actually were there for real, nearest
neighbor interpolation
