I have been trying to use ScanTailor to help me with trimming/cropping page photos to prepare them for OCR.

It generally works fine but it leaves me frustrated on the final step. I reach the final step, Output, then it crashes. Every. Single. Time.

I can't figure out what is going wrong?

It always does this for any kind of image I give it: JPG, TIFF, PNG.

I have an error report generated and sent to Apple automatically.

Is this just a Mac thing?

I'm primarily trying to spare myself the tedium of trimming hundreds of photos of single pages down manually. We've all been there. In my case, because the pages aren't consistently in the precise same spot from photo to photo, automating the trimming/cropping process would not yield good results.

Please note the low-resolution examples attached. The original photographs are high quality 300ppi JPG.

Aside from ScanTailor, I'm not aware of any software that can auto detect page edges and automatically crop them down for Mac. Funny enough they do exist for iOS.
