We had some discussions in the shoutbox regarding scanning/imaging of stamps and album pages, and manipulating the images. I will bring the discussion to this thread.
The exchange discussed the auto-cropping of stamp images.
One of the problems with many auto-cropping functions is that they crop exceptionally close to the perforation edges. When selling premium items, being able to clearly see the fibers protruding from the perforation edges is important in checking for reperforations and regumming, among many other reasons in additional to aesthetic reasons.
My question (everybody feel free to chime in) -- is there a padding option in any of the auto-cropping software?
If you are not familiar with the term "padding", the sequence of a scanned image from edged to the center is:
margin, border, padding, content
I'll try to pilfer a pic to show the above definition.
