A feature to automatically crop out the border/edge of the scan would be great. Manually cropping each scan in Lightroom is pretty tedious, and I wonder whether there is a way to identify the edge of the negative and crop at that point?

Feature Request!! 🙂 It is so tedious to crop every single foto, so I guess there is a lot of interest 😉
