Can you offer any tips on how de-skewing is best done?  It is question
of writing a program to analyse the image data?  Are there particular
algorithms recommended for the task?  Maybe such a program already is
available to be called by a script?  Is there a particular framework
geared up to this sort of task? e.g. perhaps gimp + plugins

TIA
