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 about rotation. My sample image is very slightly rotated, and I would think my other images all have some version of the same issue. I can tolerate that as these images are for family archives. I should have mentioned that my main goal in eliminating the borders was so I could use, in a batch process, Auto - White Balance to remove color casts from many of the old B&W or color photos. From experimenting, the white border seemed to mess this up. Without the border, the White Balance result seemed usually "good enough" for my purpose. So maybe I can suggest (somewhere) to the developers to add some parameters that permit some range in values for the border color in "Crop to content". Thanks again! I now understand what the issues are. -- geop (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
