I found the simpler way to trim the 3 pixels from the edge. Select - All, then Select - Shrink, specifying the 3 pixels. -- geop (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: ht

Running behind on trying things but here's an update. I zoomed in on the photos processed by the version of the script I used (the "new"version), and there is a 3-pixel-wide strip (of varying intensity and color, if a color image) all around the edges that causes the visible artifacts I see. @ric

Figured out my issues with fuzzy select and now know how to use it. Now after lots of experimenting just with that sample greyscale photo, I conclude it does NOT work well for my purpose. There is apparently too much variation in the border area, so a low threshold does not get all of the border, a

Wow, Rich, just watched your video. Didn't realize until I start watching that you had made a custom video using my image! Thanks! On that image, the script worked extremely well, judging from the final image in your video. I see that the script file contained a link to a page describing how to i

Yes, there are certainly plenty of groups of images that are the same size, so this could work. >This is probably too simple a solution, but... >If the images are all the same size, and have roughly the same border, >can't you specify a rectangle select of a size slightly smaller to >eliminate the

Just starting on this project, so I need to check on greyscale scanning of greyscale images with color casts, versus color scanning with post-processing to correct. So for now I'll put aside the greyscale images and just consider color ones. I'm scanning with a Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500. The automati

Hi - thanks for the quick reply. I wondered if it had to do with the slight non-uniformity of the pixel color in the border. I appreciate all your advice, but I really wanted an "automatic" process because I have a LOT of these bordered photos, and hoped to batch process them. I see what you mean

I have scanned photographs which have a white border. I try "Crop to content" and get the following popup: "Cannot crop because the image is already cropped to its content." The border is unchanged. I thought that possibly there are some pixels on the outer edge of the border that are confusing
