Feature Description

It is very useful when to take a screenshot of a large image, e.g. large font.

@mmahmoudian thoughts on this? I could go either way on it. I like the simplicity of just copying the source pixmap, but i can see how copying the scaled image could be useful.

@borgmanJeremy i have practically done this myself by taking double screenshot, meaning screenshot + pin, scale, screenshot + copy. I think this is a very useful feature. I always thought I'm among the few that need this feature 😅

I think the copy of pin can always copy the scaled size, and if someone wants the actual size, they can scale it to 100% and then copy it

@mmahmoudian Yes, I alse use this 2 steps method: screenshot + pin, scale, screenshot + copy. But I need to take the second screenshot carefully in order to select the right area. I think it's cool to offer 2 options: 1. copy the source pixmap, 2 copy the scaled image.
