Improvements in cropping
#1
Often my scans have slighty different borders on different pages of the same score. I would like to crop all the pages of a score with the same size, but with different borders. For that it would help, if the cropped rectangle could be moved with drag and drop without altering the size. Like that I could quickly move all the rectangles to the place I want them. Could something like that be added?

That's on my list of things to do, as well as supporting an option to reverse crop (add margins to pages).

I use open-source software called ScanTailor to pre-process my jpegs. There is a learning curve to it, but it gives you full control, including skew and margins. It has an amazing equalization filter which levels the color on the sheet.  I typically output the jpegs to 140dpi color for sheet music. This will allow 250 pages to be rendered into a pdf smaller than 50MB. MobileSheets can be used for rendering the ScanTailor output jpegs into pdfs.

Thanks!

Using external tools certainly is an option, but not needing to is always welcome.

It looks like ScanTailor is discontinued but I downloaded an .exe file for Windows and tried to use it. So far, I can't get it to load any PDFs into a project. Also nothing happens when I go from my computer to a PDF and click "open with."
