title: Is there a way to take an image file and make its background transparent via VB .NET?
body: <p>We have a system where people are being taken a face shot via a DSLR camera. We need the people's images with transparent background. What we're currently doing is taking the image and editing and cropping it in Photoshop, removing the background image with the Magic Eraser tool.</p>
  
  <p>What I am looking for is a way to parse the image and automatically erase the semi-white background we have, along with the resizing and cropping. Is there some kind of library or code sample that does this without requiring manual intervention?</p>
