NAME
imgtrim – Trim sides of IMAGE.

USAGE
imgtrim [OPTION] IMAGE..

-t number top
-b number bottom
-l number left
-r number right
-T number overall trim
-d debug
-h help
-v version

USAGE EXAMPLES
Trim 100 pixels from top imgtrim -t 100 ./img.jpg

Trim 210 pixels from bottom and 50 from top imgtrim -b 210 -t 50
./img.jpg

Trim 50 pixels from all sides imgtrim -T 50 ./img.jpg

DESCRIPTION
I work off and on with scans of images clients send me. Sometimes they
need to be trimmed up on sides, for example. The images are sometimes
very large, and I don’t want to have to open 5MB jpeg files in gimp to
trim 100 pixels off the top. So with this command, I can simply say,
trim 100 pixels off top of this image.

Wait, but.. you could do this in imagemagick’s mogrify and convert! you
say. Yes- this command uses convert in the background. But the thing is
tailored to trim- which has saved me a good deal of time.

CAVEATS
Uses mogrify, alters original image.

REQUIREMENTS
You will need a posix environment. You will need ImageMagick mogrify
installed.

• Download imgtrim from cpan
