That's a pretty laborious process though. Is there any good way to
automate the cropping?
I don't know anything about GIMP's command line interface, nor whether
it's really feasible to guess the cropping percentages for a JPEG. If
the command line allows for some type of batching, it may be easier to
guess at the cropping for a TIFF.
