For me it doesn't matter if ImageMagick is the right tool for this job. And 
one more loop in a bash script should be no problem. 

So the tasks the script should manage is to detect those in itself always 
rectangular pictures ( but not necessarily rectangular in relation to the 
A4-sheet). I think there ist always a remarkable contrast line between 
the photograpy and the white background

Then it should extract / copy those found images into seperate files

TIA
