About ScanTailor Advanced
ScanTailor Advanced post-processes scanned pages before you turn them into a PDF or ebook. It splits two-page spreads, deskews, detects page and content boundaries, sets margins, dewarps curved pages and converts output to clean black-and-white or mixed pages with picture zones.
It merges the features of ScanTailor Featured and ScanTailor Enhanced and adds multi-threaded batch processing, adaptive binarization, color segmentation, TIFF compression and light and dark themes. It suits anyone digitising books or paper archives.
