Tweaked Crossword Scanning
Posted by Ed in Photography & Images, Software on 2014-07-06
In what’s surely a change intended to better meet the needs of their customers, the newspaper changed the crossword layout just a little teeny bit, so my previous script needed a tweak:
#!/bin/bash echo Scanning... scanimage --mode Gray --opt_emulategray=yes --resolution 300 -l 5 -t 0 -x 105 -y 195 --format=pnm > /tmp/scan.pnm echo Converting... convert /tmp/scan.pnm -level 45%,60% -resize 2400x3150 +repage -unsharp 0 /tmp/trim.png convert -density 300 -size 2550x3300 canvas:white /tmp/trim.png -gravity center -composite /tmp/page.pdf echo Printing... lp -n 2 /tmp/page.pdf echo Done!
It now spits out two large-print copies, to better meet their actual needs, at least for two of their customers.
