Use "Get Preview", and xsane places a rectangular frame around what it thinks is the relevant portion in the preview image. The user can drag the sides of this frame to what he prefers. "Scan" then captures just the area defined by this frame.
Every subsequent scan will use this frame, until the user changes it. Otherwise, use a separate tool to manipulate images after they have been scanned. I find the ImageMagick "convert" command useful if I have multiple images I wish to crop (or otherwise edit) in the same way. -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
