Process Images activity: Deskew

When configuring a Process Images activity, you can use the Deskew function to straighten TIFF and JPEG images that were scanned crookedly.

Tip: You can also use the Autorotate activity.

These settings are available:

Deskew only if skew exceeds __ degrees

Specify the minimal angle, in degrees, to deskew. This allows you to keep images with small amounts of skew untouched, potentially increasing performance when some skew is acceptable. If the skew angle is less than the specified angle, the images are not deskewed.

Minimum confidence

Specify the minimum confidence level that must be reached when analyzing the image for deskewing.

Padding color

Select the color that is used for padding the emerging empty edge areas.

Maintain original size

Select whether the image size may be slightly larger after deskewing or if it has to maintain its original size.

Quality

Select the quality for deskewing. This number determines how much effort to use in analyzing the image to determine the correct skew. Set Quality to a high value to ensure the most accurate result, or to a lower value for fastest operation.

Work on empty pages

Select if the processing is applied to media whose Empty flag is set.

Additional medium information

Type a value to save in the image properties. (This text will not be visible on the image.) If additional information already exists there, what you enter here will be separated by a semicolon from the existing information. Example:

Before:  ExistingInfo

After:  ExistingInfo;NewInfo

Apply TIFF angle to JPEG

Specify whether the JPEG file has to be deskewed independently from the TIFF or if the angle measured on the TIFF is also to be applied to the JPEG.
