Hey guys, i am fairly new to Julia and i spent the past days on looking through packages that would help me to get all the features that pyautogui has.

For mouse and keyboard automation i found [Readme · GLFWAbstraction.jl](https://docs.juliahub.com/GLFWAbstraction/2YqfI/0.2.1/)  
To be a good solution.

But for taking Screenshots of the Desktop i m not sure what the best Package is.

My goal is to rebuild a python program of mine that searches all pixels of the Desktop for certain colors. After it found those colors ir does some stuff with the mouse and keyboard.

I made it to 35 ms which is very fast for python but i want to be faster with julia because i want to add CV to the programm to parse text in this color. Main focus is on speed.

Has anyone a goos idea which package already has a goos image feature?

Thank you very much already for the answers!
