RaiMan proposed the following answer:
-- 1. you are not doing an image compare ...
... but you search an image from image file (screenshot) on the whole screen (screen.wait(PDScreenshot, 30);).

An image compare would be if you would search an image in a region, that
is exactly the size of the image or even use Finder() to really compare
2 images both coming from image files.

--2. If an image is found as in your case ...
... you have a resulting match score (currently you can print screen.getLastMatch() on success, to see the score).
That exact() (means >0.99) or even similar(0.95) does not work in your case simply means, that the match score of the search is less than 0.95.
Depending on the kind of image one can say, that 2 images are exactly the same, if the match score is >0.98 (usually on exact match the result is 1.0, which means all pixels have exactly the same RBG value)

So to give you more hints, you should give more details about what you
want to achieve (you might send me screenshots silently to my mail at
