How to use JavaScript to extract individual panels from comic book pages

Hello,

My name is Freddy Jensen. I am a new user to Photoshop.

I have some jpeg images from some comic books. See

attached file. I would like to extract each panel and save

them as individual jpeg files. I can do it manually by

using the Windows Paint3D cropping tool, but it is

tedious and manual.

I was thinking, there must be a way to automate it by

driving Photoshop with a JavaScript so that you could

launch the script from the command line with the

comic book file as input, and Photoshop would find

and save each panel as individual jpeg files.

As you can see from the comic book image there is

only white space outside each panel and each panel

has a fairly thick black border so it shouldn't be that

difficult to find each panel in the image.

I am not asking for a complete solution, but if

someone could give me a pointer on how to get

started, that would be extremely helpful.

Thank You

Freddy Jensen
