Products that do what Command line method for digitizing photos of whiteboards does

About a month ago, after searching for an existing solution, I built a little script to take photo's of whiteboards and clean them up/make them into near perfect digital representations. Here's the script: #!/bin/bash convert $1 -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 $2 Example Input: Input 1: http://i.imgur.com/CTSIPwm.jpg Input 2: http://i.imgur.com/37GXrwo.jpg Example Output: Output 1: http://i.imgur.com/Qf3jkBW.png Output 2: http://i.imgur.com/oNueb0L.png The…

    DPaZ – Desktop Pan and Zoom▲6

    Hi HN! I really like Miro and similar tools for whiteboarding - and one particularly nice feature of those is that you can pan and zoom around the whiteboard. Zoom into something to work on it, zoom out, pan a bit and find something else on a giant whiteboard. This tool aims to replicate that experience for the Windows Desktop - it gives you the feeling of unlimited desktop real-estate, implemented with a relatively short Autohotkey script. It's a bit janky, but I use it daily; PRs welcome
