Hi toe_head2001, I know this is a really old topic, but I believe there is a way to do this via the GUI assuming the control box is relatively rectangular. The first step would be to expand the canvas size before calling up the plugin. This may be necessary if you're working right at the edge of the image. Next, open up the plugin and set the control points tight to the area you want to correct. Then, adjust each control point value as follows where P = amount to pad; upper left (x-P, y-P), upper right (x+P, y-P), lower left (x-P, y+P), and lower right (x+P, y+P). This could be implemented in the GUI by allowing the user to enter the number of pixels to pad and buttons to add or remove the padding prior to clicking okay. As for myself, I would like to see a way to increase the size of the GUI box so that the control points are more visible. Someone mentioned zooming in to set the points, but I think a bigger overall box would be more helpful. Hope everyone has a great 2024!

A few years ago I asked for the reset function and was blown away by how fast toe_head2001 responded. This plugin is the best feature of PDN for me. I use it to straighten historic archival documents that are shot with a hand held phone. One feature that would be really great is if it included some sort of automatic corner detection. I'm mostly shooting pages of text against a black background. It seems to me that edge detection could determine four straight lines, calculate the four intersections, and then feed the four (x,y) data points into the GUI. Does anyone know of such a plug in for PDN? Thanks!

Great tool for fixing documents shot with a phone camera. I've learned to expand the canvas size if I don't want to lose any of the image, though the result is sometimes living with a clipped corner. My main reason for writing though is to ask if a reset function can be added. I work with groups of images and it slows me down having to reset the control nubs to each corner. Once in awhile it helps to have the last setting, but that tends to be the exception when shooting images with a hand held phone. A simple "reset" would be awesome. Thanks.
