about=When georeferencing old maps or aerial imagery in QGIS, the output raster often has an unwanted black frame around the actual image content. This plugin automates the removal by detecting the valid image area, generating a mask polygon, and clipping the raster with alpha transparency. Replicating the manual workflow of Raster > Extraction > Clip Raster by Mask Layer with the alpha channel box ticked.

changelog=
    1.1.0 - Performance fix for large rasters. Edge smoothing now defaults to
             off (1px) for faster processing. Raising the slider still enables
             morphological closing for images with dark fields or forests near
             the border.	
	
    1.0.0 - Initial release.
