Anyone use scripts or automation to tidy up scans of booklets?
They need to be
level / de skewed. It’s very hard to get them level on a scanner
cropped to remove the background of the scanner or backing paper
all the same size
Maybe slice images in two to get one page per image.
Have been trying this example, Deskew and crop but the results are not quite good enough - leaves a blank area on right, not cropped and it’s not aligned perfectly.
Wondering if anyone has any command line that they can share or an alternative? Doing it manually is not practical
Looks like you’re not using Photoshop, but in case someone else is searching for this in future and is, the Photoshop function is built in: File > Automate > Crop and Straighten Photos
Needs to be used with a bit of caution as it sometimes crops images too tight.
Hmm, it doesn’t have any options to set the size. If you’re scanning them all with the same settings they should be the same size?
If you have to/want to do it manually (edit: I meant do it manually, but with automation ) I would do that in a separate step. Photoshop ‘droplets’ automate any sequence of Photoshop actions, and then you you can drag lots of images onto a droplet to carry them out. For instance, here the actions would be ‘resize to x > save > close’. If that sounds appealing then I would look for ‘Photoshop droplet’ tutorials on YouTube.
