  '''Intelligent automatic image cropping.
    This functions removes the usless "white" space around an image.
    
    If the image has an alpha (tranparency) channel, it will be used
    to choose what to crop.
    
    Otherwise, this function will try to find the most popular color
    on the edges of the image and consider this color "whitespace".
    (You can override this color with the backgroundColor parameter) 
 
    Input:
      image (a PIL Image object): The image to crop.
      backgroundColor (3 integers tuple): eg. (0,0,255)
         The color to consider "background to crop".
         If the image is transparent, this parameters will be ignored.
         If the image is not transparent and this parameter is not
         provided, it will be automatically calculated.
 
    Output:
      a PIL Image object : The cropped image.
