Issues when comparing images that have been scrolled

[priceey]

Hello,

I'm currently trying out ashot to take some comparison images on a website.

I have managed to make a screen shot where the page scrolls with

Screenshot entirePageScreenShot = new AShot().shootingStrategy
(ShootingStrategies.viewportRetina(100, 0, 0, 2)).takeScreenshot(driver);

However when I do

ImageDiff diff = new ImageDiffer().makeDiff(screenShotImage, libraryImagePng);

The image diff fails. Looking at the diff image, it seems there are tiny differences in the footer, which I think might be related to the scroll.

What would be the best way avoid this issue?

thanks

@priceey I don't know if you have solved this or still need help with it, but I solved this exact problem with setting the window to point (0,0) after starting web driver. So I just used something like: driver.manage().window().setPosition(new Point(0, 0)). This removed the problem with tiny differences in the footer for me.
