Seam Cutter

Seam Cutter

Brief overview

Simon Willison has developed a tool called Seam Cutter that can create horizontal or vertical cutting lines in images and slide the sides to crop a specific area from the middle of the image. The tool is designed to address the need to crop specific parts in the middle when using Tailor to stitch multiple screenshots into a long image (e.g., removing irrelevant prompt words).

I built this weird and very specific cropping tool - it lets you create a horizontal or vertical cut across an image, then slide the two sides relative to each other. Effectively it lets you crop out a section in the middle of an image.

I wanted this because I often use Tailor on my iPhone to stitch several screenshots together into lot long image, but sometimes I find myself wanting to crop out a section in the middle - to redact an irrelevant prompt from a transcript, for example.
