Just an example: I saved one page of a scanned book page (typical copy of conference proceedings with a large black margin): -> PNG of 950 kB in Size I cropped the black margins and saved the png -> 480 kB in Size! that's 49% saved! So just by removing the borders I could reduce file size to 50% and then even more with compression and reduction of the image resolution. However, as compression might be a potential loss of data and information, this "real crop" would be no loss at all... >> (http://briss.sourceforge.net/) which can crop similar to Skim, but it also >> provides a merged view of all even and uneven pages to select a region where >> all pages fit in). > > That's what Skim also does / can do, see the Wiki. I know that there is an auto crop feature, but I did not find a way to graphically show a merge of all pages in Skim, so that the user could adjust the area to crop "visually" (e. g. decide, if he does not want to leave the page numbers at the bottom).
