Example #1 Imagick::deskewImage()
<?php
function deskewImage($threshold) {
$imagick = new \Imagick(realpath("images/NYTimes-Page1-11-11-1918.jpg"));
$deskewImagick = clone $imagick;
//This is the only thing required for deskewing.
$deskewImagick->deskewImage($threshold);
//The rest of this example is to make the result obvious - because
//otherwise the result is not obvious.

$deskewImagick->cropImage($deskewImagick->getImageWidth() - $trim, $deskewImagick->getImageHeight(), $trim, 0);
$imagick->cropImage($imagick->getImageWidth() - $trim, $imagick->getImageHeight(), $trim, 0);
$deskewImagick->resizeimage($deskewImagick->getImageWidth() / 2, $deskewImagick->getImageHeight() / 2, \Imagick::FILTER_LANCZOS, 1);
