If you want to try this software, please download ScannerTrimmer.zip, extract that and execute ScannerTrimmer.exe in that. And you will see a main window like figure below.
You can process input images by dropping input image files from Windows Explorer after change settings by the main window.
Minimum setting you must specify to execute is only Empty-image path scanned with no manuscript (1) and Edges for trim (2). If you specify Empty-image path you can choose 'auto' (default) in Edges for trim (2). But if you don't, you must specify a option excepting 'auto' in Edges for trim (2). You can specify no-manuscript path by "Select by Dialog" button.
After this, please drop input files from explorer to execute processing. Processed images will be save in a folder named by editbox of 'Save locatoin' created as subfolder of a folder that is a parent folder of dropped files.
Empty-image path scanned with no manuscript
Specify image path scanned with no manuscript to (1). If you do not use no-manuscript image specify empty string in that. You can specify the path directry by keyboard, by selecting with open dialog box, by selecting one from dropp down list, or drop file from explorer to the combobox. If you want to use open dialog box, push "Select by Dialog" button. You can specify a path by drop down list if you have executed in times past. Drop down list consists of newest 16 pathes in past execution. If you want to drop a empty-image file from explorer, you must drop a file inside of the combo box (The combo box appearance will be change when mouse cursor is inside of that). And if you drop multiple files from explorer, the first dropped path is specified as empty-path and remain pathes can be used as input pathes.
And, you can open empty-image by pushing "Open image" button.

Prior to cutting edges than keeping manuscript
Check if you want to trim background than keeping manuscript fragments.
Output size
Check if you want to specify the output image sizes. Only trimming is processed (No magnify). So if input image sizes are the same then the trimming sizes will be the same too.
Additional trimming
Check if you want to specify the additional extra-trimming values after auto-trimming. If you wan to specify auto-trimming values, you must use 'Output size'.
Save location
Processed images are saved in a subfolder of a folder that have dropped input image files as children. The subfolder name can be specified by using a editbox. You can specify the name by typing or selecting one from drop down list. The drop down list has the name history of 16 in past execution.
Save image type
You can select a save image format by radio buttons.
"Windows Bitmap" is a format that enables us to save images with no compression. This fomat images can be opened by many applications. But because of no compression, file sizes of images are large.
"PNG" is a format that enables us to save images with lossless compression. Because of compression, The file sizes are small comparing with "Windows Bitmap" format. But because of lossless compression, files sizes are large comparing with "JPEG" format especially with photo like colorfull complex images.
"JPEG" is a format that enables us to save images with lossy compression. This format make it possible that choosing image quality and compression wait. High image quality make filesizes large (max is 100), and Low image quality make these small (min is 0) relatively.
Advanced Option
Threads
Specify the thread count for excuting. It affects only when multiple files are drepped.
Execution by dropping
You can process images by dropping files from explorer into an area excepting an area of Empty-path combobox (1). Execution will be caused immediately after dropping. An area will be show result images one by one as processing. You can terminate processing to press "Stop" button. You can open a folder that has result images by pressing "Open Folder" button after processing.
Immediately after dropping files, you may see a dialog like figure below. In this case, existing several files will be overwrite. Push "Yes" to delete existing collision files and start execution. Push "No" to terminate exection.
