I have scanned a lot of old photos individually (i.e. there is only one photo per scanned image on an A4 page) and the images all have a large white boarder which I would like to remove.
Is there any way of doing this automatically?
I have tried the auto crop function on the photos app but it doesn't do anything.
Thanks for any advice

The "Auto" button in the Crop tool will try to straighten the horizon automatically, but it does not crop the white borders away. Photos does not have a tool for that.
You will have to crop the photos manually. It would be more economic to do the cropping during the scanning and only scan the rectangle where the photo is than to import the larger photo with the white borders. You will save storage by trimming the photo before importing.
Thank you Léonie
