Hello,
I d like to remove the small black borders that I get after scanning my slides (Nikon LS 5000, 50 by 50).
Using after a script I d like to avoid to make a selection for each picture. File>automate>crop and straighten seems to be for several images in a same scan. Is it possible to use it just for one full picture. How ? (when I use it for one picture, I just get half of it, of course without black borders; I d like to get the full image just without black borders and without making a selection)
Thanks for your help.
Stephane.

It sounds like you want to automate this. There are a couple of ways that it could be done but the best way to do it depends on the border itself – if it’s the same across the images you wish to crop, and if it’s a pure black.

One way, is to create an action that uses the magic wand tool to select all the black border, then, invert the selection and record Image|Crop Image.

Another way is to record an action that reduces your canvas size by a particular pixel value or percent. By reducing the canvas size, you are in essence cropping the image, provided that you are working on a background without layers.

Maybe that helps?

Peace,
Tony
