    Good to know

    Scanners often produce blank backs of single-sided sheets. "Almost white" ignores a little dust or a page edge; switch to "Also faint marks" if some blank scans are still left in.

    Questions

    How does it decide a page is blank?

    Each page is drawn small and the share of non-white pixels is measured. Below the threshold you picked, the page is removed.

    Can I see which pages were removed?

    Yes. The message after processing lists the page numbers that were taken out.
