Remove areas exposed by deskew?

[psmith]

After running this command:

Code: Select all

convert -deskew 40% -background green in.jpg out.jpg

out.jpg will have a non-uniform green area that corresponds to the amount of skew corrected. How do I remove this area?

You should have input-file, then the processing, then the output file.

Code: Select all

convert in.jpg -background green -set option:deskew:auto-crop 1 -deskew 40% -fuzz 5% -trim +repage out.jpg

The 5% and "1" might need tweaking.

I am using an OCR script - Tesseract. I didn't know how to align or rotate a text, to be perfect aligned horizontaly. Your script works great !

Code: Select all

convert in.jpg -set option:deskew:auto-crop 1 -deskew 40% -fuzz 5% -trim +repage out.jpg

Thank you so much !
