Photofiltre automation

[soapbox]

Is there any way to automate/batch process things like "automatic crop" or "Dust reduction - high"?

I don't see these filters available in automation settings. Can they be added as command line?

[Antonio]

only filters available in the automate are enabled, not other...

[soapbox]

Any chance you could add "automatic crop" and "dust reduction - high" to batch options/filters?

Or is there any other way to automate these? Command line maybe?

This would save me months of work...

[Antonio]

automatic crop works only for some image with background and dust reduction need setting for each image for a correct result. Then for the moment not possible

I have 10,000+ black and white comic book drawings that I would like to run through "Dust Reduction - High (default threshold: 0)". How can I do that using batch processing? Doing it manually for each individual drawing will take forever...

[Antonio]

of course for this it is better another software like XnView

Thank you for suggestion.

Which NConvert filter would be most similar to your Dust Reduction - High filter? It is fantastic for clearing up the line-art drawings.

[Antonio]

don't know but i think we use classic methode

Looks like XnConvert>Action>Filter>Median Box 7x7 produces exactly the same result as your Dust Reduction - High filter.

So thank you again for suggesting Xn Software. Of course, I am still using PF for many other things that cannot be automated.
