SUMMARY
When you take a screenshot with spectacle that focuses a specific part of the screen (Rectangular window) it will make the resulting screenshot darker than the screen actually is.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Spectacle
2. Use the "Rectangular region" button to take a screenshot of some rectangular region (Easier to see on white backgrounds)
3. The resulting screenshot should be darker

OBSERVED RESULT
Screenshot is darker than screen

EXPECTED RESULT
Screenshot is same color as screen
