plugin, imageing, gnu image manipulation programm, GIMP, text, rotation, scan

Deskew, also called auto straighten, is the automatic rotation of an image such that the text is vertically aligned. Now released as version 1.1 - looks great!
A Deb archive for Ubuntu Linux is available too. Deskew will appear in "Filters > Misc > Deskew".

It works well, but I had to figure out how to install the plugin first.

Hurray for Windows! (My job forces me to use it.)

On Ubuntu is the problem that Deskew 1.1 requires libc6 (upcoming hardy) and gutsy stays on libc5

Cool Application, many thanks. I run it on windows. Is there any hope to expand it to separate a single flatbed scan of say 6 or 8 photos / business cards which separate the individual images and deskew finishing up with the 6 or 8 individual images. It would cut down on a tedious process. I would be keen to do it but don't understand Script-fu or Python RobertK
