I am attempting to do a screenshot without displaying the 'screenshot' label on the resulting image. How can I achieve this? I am running Catalina 10.15.7. TIA.
Got a tip for us?

I've never seen a "screenshot label" either. Makes me wonder if you've installed a third party app? However, Apple made some changes to how screenshots work in Mojave/Catalina that confused me at first when I upgraded. See this:

Itu2019s a simple option, but you have to invoke a screen capture to find it.

If by label you mean the file name, that can be changed from Terminal or with OnyX/Deeper

Just "do the screenshot".
It should appear on your desktop with the name "Screen Shot xxx", with xxx being date and time.
Just click on the file and rename it to whatever you wish.

Why waste time renaming files evey time a screenshot is taken instead of just having them directly with the desired name?
I think the OP needs to explain what they mean by "displaying the 'screenshot' label on the resulting image" because that is something unusual and none of our responses have really addresssed it.
How are you taking the screenshoot? Keyboard shortcut, Screenshot app, Preview, another app?

And OP, if you like whatever screenshot app you are using except for that label, consider just cropping the bottom of the image those few pixels to eliminate it. That looks like you would crop off maybe 12-16 lines at most...
Is that "screenshot" label really part of the image? It looks a bit like the kind of popup that is sometimes displayed when you "roll over" something with the mouse. Is it always in every screenshot? Is it possible that your mouse was just "parked" over something that caused a popup label when you took the screenshot?
