Turns out it was another item in the Security & Privacy, Screen Recording pane.  An unchecked item I've never noticed was there: j8rpq294ub.com.skitch.skitchhelper.  Don't know where that came from and why it wasn't already checked, but checking it allowed Skitch to work again.

And no, LightShot didn't fit my needs.  :-(  

Thanks for the reply, PinkElephant.  :-)    I agree, Skitch is rather old and lacks features, but it does integrate well with Evernote.  I like the tools it provides as I tend to do a lot of circling and pointing things out to customers and co-workers.  What do you prefer to use?  LightShot seems like it might work, but I haven't installed it yet.  Do you have a free option with all the features (more?) of Skitch?

I've been using Skitch for about 10 years on my Mac... I use it 50+ times a day!  I have it mapped to Mac's cmd-shift-5 and cmd-shift-6 and it's been working forever.  All of a sudden it doesn't work today.  I either use the hotkeys or select region/screen from Skitch itself and all it does is take a picture of a blank desktop background.  I've rebooted, restarted Skitch, and even checked screen recording privileges and nothing helps.  HELP!  I need Skitch!!  What am I missing?  I'm running Monterey pretty up to date (maybe a patch behind), but things were fine yesterday!
