Reducing extra space in a jpg scanned in Writer

[charles meyer]

Hi my esteemed listmates,



I scanned both sides of a business card as separate jpgs.



I opened each jpg (one jpg for each side) and there’s a lot of extra white
space.



Is there a quick/easy way to eliminate all that wasted white space around
the business card?



Advantage Libre Writer: I can open the 2 jpgs (front and back of the
business card) in Writer and even copy the back side (jpg #2) into the jpg
#1 (front side of the card) but neither will open in MS Word 365 like some
jpgs do.



Thank you.


Charles.

I adjust the scanned area, before the scan.
