Question

Is there a c# library which is able to do this or is Aforge able to extract sub image.

The Bitmap class has a Clone method which accepts a target rectangle directly.

Since you're already working with a Bitmap, calling Clone with your rectangle and desired PixelFormat (which could be originalBitmap.PixelFormat) should give you what you need, with no additional dependencies.

Bitmap croppedImage = originalBitmap.Clone(theRect, originalBitmap.PixelFormat);
