Image processing/effects/...

Here are few tools that use Wia.image :

For reference I've used this:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms630819(v=vs.85).aspx

Still I have no idea how to proceed with the ARGB filter (???).Soon I'll add stamp , exif editing and so on.
Despite the script share a lot of code at the moment I have no intentions to combine them into one big tool because the command line syntax will become to cumbersome.
Also almost all of the filters have FrameIndex property which I have no idea what is used for.

What else can be used?

DXImageTransform com objects may be.They allowed directX effects to be applied on images ,but as far I know they are now deprecated and not supported.I remember there were some examples on MSDN ,but with none of them mention how the result can be saved in a new image (all of them were in a browser context).At the moment most of the examples that can be found are in C/C++ or simple MSHTA effects.So I don't know if this can be used through a command line tool and I cannot find all the documentation I need on msdn.

.NET/powershell - it offers a lot more capabilities.

Very interesting! I never used these possibilities of Windows scripting yet.
