[Gimp-user] crop to content

[geop <forums gimpusers com>]

Late last night I got the latest version of the script suggested by Rich and
tried it on a dozen color photo scans with borders. Each was left with thin
"white" strips along the sides and top and bottom, mostly thicker at one end
than the other, indicating there was still a little skew left in the images
(though the script does a deskew). I'll need to vary the parameters, and also
try the original version of the script that Rich used.

I also tried the fuzzy select idea. With its default parameter (15, I think),
and using the greyscale photo I sent earlier, this selected a lot of sky area.
However, I did not get much further because I'm not familiar enough with Gimp. I
did open the fuzzy settings and lower the value, but nothing changed, so it was
unclear to me that was really the result, or that I had failed to completely
confirm the new parameter somehow. But now I'm in a situation where I can NOT
get to the fuzzy select settings any more, even on a Gimp restart! Arggh.
