Hi Gimp-user, This is sort of a hypothetical question... are there any Linux tools, Gimp or additional, that can do "smart" cropping?
I'm writing a script that will change the height and width and maintain aspect ratio for NTSC TV (based on info I read at scantips.com and other, plus personal testing). I change the width to 576, and if the height is then greater than 480, I make it 480. I'm using Bash and ImageMagick. When I do a ImageMagick "identify -verbose" there is tons of info he knows, including border info. Now I don't know what this all means and have to do some reading, but that got me thinking :-) that perhaps tools can make certain assumptions about light and dark. All the pictures have white borders. Even if 80% are successful, it would be something. I started using ImageMagick directly when I needed to batch convert xcf to jpgs so it is something I know something about and can easily put into a Bash script, and it comes up a lot while googling. Thank you. -- __________________________ DJ _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
