Depends on your images but you might get away with the old divide-scanned-images script. There are various enhanced versions but the original is worth a try. Usually as its name, split up a page with several images but a single image works. Can be used individually or in a batch mode. Quick video demo, duration 2 minutes, using the batch function. https://youtu.be/Ozc5WnlMnWY Attachments: * https://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/1354/original/DivideScannedImages.scm -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
