You can import snapshots from secondary and tertiary monitors using the working
screenRects:
on mouseUp
put line 1 of the working screenRects into tRect
import snapshot from rectangle tRect
end mouseUp
on mouseUp
put line 2 of the working screenRects into tRect
import snapshot from rectangle tRect
end mouseUp
on mouseUp
put line 3 of the working screenRects into tRect
import snapshot from rectangle tRect
end mouseUp
