Converting Image to "Document" in Desktop

[jsircar 2]

I love that you can convert a image/photo to a "document" in the mobile app - it cleans up the background, gets rid of glare, and makes it much more readable. Is there a way to run this conversion on pre-existing photos of notebooks, whiteboard, etc. that you add using the desktop app?

Hi.  Short of taking a new picture of the original,  or displaying the note on one monitor and taking a new picture of the screen on a mobile,  I can't think of a way to re-process an existing picture.  It would be a good feature to have though..

@deyawper  @gazumped  Since you seem to understand this discussion, can you explain what is meant by type "document".  I'm not seeing it as a Mac thing

I assumed it was the difference between the various image options in a mobile camera - 'picture' / 'document' / 'business card' - each of which is dealt with in a different way.  In this case 'document' means cropping the image to page edges,  adjusting the exposure for optimum OCR,  and,  well..  OCR..

Thanks, I got sidetracked by the file type

It helps to move the feature request up the priority list if you folks vote at the top left of this page...

Was this ever taken on as a feature?

Nope - not yet,  anyway.  I believe Google Docs will do something similar if you need it...
