Last update for a week (as I'm heading to Canada). Added tooltips for each tool so you can get a better grasp of how to use it. And an additional demonstration of the new measurement tool – you can manually calibrate it so you can get real dimensions.

Translucens — Bleed-through Removal for Manuscript Scans Translucens removes ink bleed-through and show-through from medieval manuscript folio scans using custom image processing pipeline.

What started as a normal breakfast talk with @martin.rocek.dev about illegible text is turning into an actual app and it's so cool!

The idea is to isolate ink show-through from recto/verso scans to make both folios more legible.
