/** @file sanei_magic.h
 * This file provides an interface to simple image post-processing functions
 *
 * Currently, three operations are provided:
 * - Deskew (correct rotated scans, by detecting media edges)
 * - Autocrop (reduce image size to minimum rectangle containing media)
 * - Despeckle (replace dots of significantly different color with background)
 *
 * Note that these functions are simplistic, and are expected to change.
 * Patches and suggestions are welcome.
