Special conditions of use

The resolution of the search image and the screen resolution must match in order for the action to work correctly.  It is recommended to take a screenshot of the image for this purpose.

If the result is "true" and the object is present on the screen, then there is a need to refine the degree of similarity to the search image. 

The most effective use of files with the extension ".png"
