If you are running from command line on 64 bit version of windows then you can use either the 32 bit or 64 bit version of ImageMagick. The 64 bit version is probably the best option in this case. If you are using the ImageMagickObject from VB, VBA, etc. then the choice of 32 bit or 64 bit is ...

I also found it possible to take data from a WIA image file direct to ImageMagickObject instead of creating a temporary file to disk. This ...
