I'm loading some images into access image process. They are signatures on a pure white background. I want to remove the excess white area around the signature so it is cropped to just the size of the signature.

Is there a way to do this with VBA? If not are there any utilities that can be run from command line that would work?

Code:
Dim wiaImg As New WIA.ImageFile
Dim IP As ImageProcess

wiaImg.LoadFile SiganutureToUse

Set IP = CreateObject("WIA.ImageProcess")
IP.Filters.Add (IP.FilterInfos("Convert").FilterID)
IP.Filters(1).Properties("FormatID").Value = WIA.FormatID.wiaFormatJPEG
IP.Filters(1).Properties("Quality").Value = 25
Set wiaImg = IP.Apply(wiaImg)

wiaImg.SaveFile sigfile

I've searched and found a few programs, but nothing that seems suitable. I will have a look at imagemagick thanks.

EDIT: Thanks that looks good so far. I'm interested in the portable version but a bit bamboozled by all the different options.

EDIT2: Can't seem to download:

Your connection isn't private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from download.imagemagick.org (for example, passwords, messages or credit cards).
NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
This server couldn't prove that it's download.imagemagick.org; its security certificate is from imagemagick.net. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

EDIT3: I managed to get round that but no files will download.

EDIT4: Managed to download. The convert can be used on its own. Works perfectly. Big thanks.

I don't know anything about the imagemagic but I shy away from "free" stuff. NOTHING is actually free. If you are not paying with money for a product, then YOU are the product.

As long as you are OK with being the product, use whatever you want.

I have this set up now and it works fine. I just used the "convert.exe" from the portable version of imagmagik, so no installation required. There doesn't appear to be anything suspicious about it so far.
