Thank you for pinpointing the trace feature, a practical purpose is this image has dark area above and below it. I can crop the image but the cropping line is really chunky, can’t zoom in so need to get it close as possible manually. Upload it, there’s a thin black line where it all hasn’t been trimmed off, try again it’s taken off a bit of the image.

If I could add an image, and sometimes there’s dark on the sides, and a tool in GIMP could detect the exact boundary so every pixel of dark is gone and it’s solely the image left that would be best.

The other thing could GIMP remove metadata from an image? It adds unneeded information which isn’t related to the series (the Metadata section would be far better as an area to list the pages the image appears on, with the regular About containing just licensing information). After images are prepared they are placed in an app to remove the data but if the data is never added in the first place that saves a step. If not able to be removed, could a screenshot be taken that does not add metadata to begin with?

For word marks could GIMP just basically take this “Gakuen Heaven” logo at the top with the wings and shadow? With a blank background and “Wiki” underneath that’s one excellent word mark for the wiki.

Could GIMP also remove this speech bubble text easy? There are retouch tools but sometimes they smudge the text or some of the nearby image is added. If it could also remove non-speech bubble text like the  sound effect that would be good for other images.
