IMAGE MANIPULATION OF DIGITIZED IMAGES OF DOCUMENTS

A system and method for reading into memory a plurality of scanned image files, obtaining a set of parameters describing the extent to which each scanned image file deviates from a theoretical image file, wherein the set of parameters includes at least one of a horizontal offset, a vertical offset, a horizontal stretch, a vertical stretch, or skew, manipulating a first scanned image file from the plurality according to the set of parameters for the scanned image file, reading into memory a manipulation control, conditionally manipulating a second scanned image file from the plurality based on a value of the manipulation control, and saving at least one manipulated image.
