Thanks, I'll go look at door a lot to see how they are trimmed. I can always learn by inspecting other peoples work

Thanks. That's a big help.

Cool, so if I frame the rough aperture fairly square can I slim down that 5 mm each side because I know I'll have removed most of the error in the outer framing? I'll only have minimal tweaking to do I hope.

Seriously? That's really sad. Surely if asked to identify a talk dark handsom man you would think first of a POC. If an author is not specific I interpret how I see fit. Try so Olivia E Butler. She doesn't always describe her characters a black but a lot of them are clearly POC. There are undoubtedly some racist authors out there. They are people too but there are a lot who just write a good story.

Edit octavia rather than Olivia?

So it's the way you read and interpret. If I see a character described as dark I assume they're black. I'm currently reading A Time of Dread by John Wynne. He describes a character as darker of skin than his southern neighbours...or similar words. I immediately see him as a black man. You might interpret that differently but nowhere in the book is anyone described as black or white. And why should they be? It's not racist to ignore race. Its quite clear the author sees a wide rainbow of skin colour if you interpret that as binary black and not black I would politely suggest the problem may be with you.

And if they are described a dark with brown eyes? Are the automatically white too?

I don't actually remember many being described by skin colour, and why would you? Leaving colour ambiguous leaves us to put our own face on people. OP is expecting characters to be explicitly described as black but very few are explicitly described as white.
