    private static ImageFormat GetImageFormat(string format)
    {
        ImageFormat imageFormat = null;

        try
        {
            var imageFormatConverter = new ImageFormatConverter();
            imageFormat = (ImageFormat)imageFormatConverter.ConvertFromString(format);
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {

            throw;
        }

        return imageFormat;
    }
