Reducing extra space in a jpg scanned in Writer

users
#1

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.
