AutoFilmCrop

Why AutoFilmCrop

Cropping film scans isn't hard – it's repetitive.

AutoFilmCrop removes the tedious process of manually cropping each film frame you scan. It detects the film frame for each image and applies clean, consistent crops automatically, so you can focus more on the creative part of your workflow.

It also fits cleanly into workflows that include tools like Negative Lab Pro: crop/rotate first, then convert and edit.

What you get

• Batch crop + rotate from File → Plug-in Extras → AutoFilmCrop
• Settings & Preview to inspect the mask and tune thresholds
• Per-image detection (handles small alignment changes within a roll)
• Bundled runtime (no additional setup once installed)
• macOS + Windows installers

Works great for

• Camera-scanned film (copy stand / macro setups)
• Flatbed and dedicated scanner outputs
• Visible borders, holders, rebate, and strong frame edges
• Mixed batches where frames aren't perfectly aligned

If a roll is tricky, tune once in Preview, then batch the selection.

One-click menu items

1. Open Settings & Preview… once to confirm detection
2. Select any number of scans
3. Run AutoFilmCrop to apply to all images

When AutoFilmCrop may not be a fit

Best results come from scans with visible borders or clear frame edge contrast.

• Scans already tightly cropped with no visible edges
• Extremely low contrast borders
• Irregularly shaped frame edges/corners
