Hi, I haven't used Gimp but I'm looking for a tool that can help me with this.
I make Kindle books featuring vintage illustrations from children's books. Many of the illustrations were printed not quite square. They look okay in the books because the margins are very large and they are not very far off from square.
But in my Kindle books I want to make the illustrations full screen. When I do so, the slight slants of some of the borders become obvious.
In the attached example, see how the bottom border (and the text too), are horizontal, but the other three borders are not square. I don't think the artist made it that way; I think the distortion happened during the book production in 1918. If Gimp can help me warp it back into square, I think that would be closer to the artist's original work.
Any suggestions?
