[Question #670985]: Easy way to take screenshot and region at the same time

 

New question #670985 on Sikuli:

Hello, thank you a lot for making and maintaining Sikuli, I am programming illiterate but I managed to make a few simple scripts where it clicks on some stuff which is immensely helpful to automate tedious tasks.

I have two questions, First: Is there an easy way to take a screenshot and define a region at the same time in the exact same space? I want to check for an image at an exact region, but when I use the screenshot and region commands in the header and select them myself with the mouse It is hard to pixel perfect select the exact same place on my screen for screenshots and regions

Secondly: is there a way to click at the place an image has been found with the "exists" command without using regions command? I want to click on a fading image that can appear on random places of the screen. I tried using 
if exists(image):
    click(image)
But then sometimes because the image is fading between where it checks for the image to exists and actually clicking it the image faded just enough that the script doesn't detect it anymore and therefore the script breaks (because it tries to click on something that doesn't exist anymore at this point). 

Thanks in advance
