Need actual image as a seperate image

[nani554]

1. I have a scenario where i have baseline and i have diff image which shows difference of baseline and actual image, now i need actual image as a seperate image, could you please point me to correct direction @anescobar1991
2. I need "actual image" as a seperate image, so that i can validate those and replace "baseline images" with the "actual images"
3. i would like to store that actual image in a seperate folder using "fs"

I'm having the same issue. Did you manage to solve it?

okay, what i have done is basically is hacky way which goes like this:
i'm creating new image(actual image) again aside seperately using cy.screenshot() command,

code:

expect(image).toMatchImageSnapshot(); // which basically compare old image with new image//current image
cy.screenshot(image); // creates a new image aside

so here two things are happening

1. you are using this package command to compare and get diff image.
2. you are again creating a new image using cy.screenshot() (cypress default screenshot command).

By doing above, two functionalities are being fullfilled:

1. you can seee diff using "package command"
2. you can have a new image using "cypress screenshot command"

@espi-jisc use this process if its helpfull.
again im using fs to batch commands to place new images in a desired folder and im identifying weather image is the new image or not, for this iam placing new image(while capturing) inside "new_baselines" folder
