I’m scanning old family photos with a Canon LiDE 400 using scanimage but the scanner outputs/scans the whole scanning surface, not only the photo. I’m working in the Linux terminal and I’d rather not install a GUI at this time. If I did, I’d simply use XSane to crop the image. The scanner doesn’t have any length/width markings along its edges, otherwise I’d just input the dimensions of the photo.
Any solutions?
ImageMagic can do this with mogrify. You can add it to your term workflow or batch the images at the end.
Add -fuzz if the background is a bit not so consistently white.
