For Windows, I found a nice programm called JPEGcrops that crops

so I always need a second program. Also, it only runs on Windows.
So I am looking for a free program with (simple) image
manipulation capabilities
and a cropping function to specified formats, preferably for
Linux but Windows
is also accepted. I know about the command line tool jpegcrop but
the region to
crop can not be specified interactively (at least not as far as I
know).
Have you tried The Gimp?

Babya Photoworkshop is fully featured-yet under 2mb with vb runtimes
and has
many image effects:
http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?19000000037114
and you could truy some of its options to crop-[lus under 2mb with
vb
runtimes installed-smaller than the gimp.
Since *WHEN* did Linux programers write *LINUX SOFTWARE* using Visual Basic?
If you're going to be using the GIMP under Linux,you might as well use the
Windows port of the GIMP.
Chris,
Re Linux programmers using VB:
Sometime using an odd collection of cross platform tools works well
for a particular task. Here's an example: for a college project in
back in 2000, I needed to write a throwaway functional protype PIM on
a short schedule for Windows that would eventually be a cross platform
freeware CD for new students. My 3-person group originally planned to
do it in VB, but none of used had used VB, nor Visual C++ for that
matter.
I wrote the throway prototype it using the Visual J++ GUI, because my
Visual Cafe 3.0 that I had used in our entry level Java class was the
student edition and couldn't export to a native Windows run time
environment. I'm not a programmer, (this was part of an MSIS
program), and I couldn't figure out the streaming or whatever to use
with our freeware database, even though I had bought all of the Sun
Java books. So I just wrote stuff to read-write-modify-delete the PIM
address book as strings. Then, I cut and pasted methods from some
Visual Cafe methods I had used earlier in the course for Linux apps
(Early Viz Cafe used "wiring" to generate action listeners, etc.), to
the empty VJ++brackets generated by its GUI.
It worked very cool as a prototype. Meanwhile, our hard core C++
Object-Oriented developer wrote up the table definitions, class
diagrams, etc. for the future real thing, for cross platform
Linux/Windows, which would be coded using no GUI tools, as if we would
really develop a final project. We were the only team that finished a
project.
By the way, I luv da GIMP, in both Win and Lin. I gave a copy to my
daughter a couple of weeks ago, who is now using it to develop some
commercial "free hand" print art of people's pets. I als gave her my
copy of "Grokking the GIMP". She finds it to be much better and more
powerful than the MS paint program she had been using.
