My main computers have no Gimp installed, as it is too big an ap-
plication  for  them.  For  heavy  image  manipulation,  I have a
separate workstation with all these multimedia tools on it.

Sometimes I want to just do some quick basic image  manipulation.
Then  I  use  Imagemagick,  this  great set of command line image
manipulation tools.

For cropping I wished to have a simple convert(1) frontend for  a
long  time, but never found or implemented it myself. Thus I usu-
ally crop by number fiddling with such a crop-view-repeat loop:

     convert -crop 1000x400+800+700 in.jpg out.jpg && sxiv out.jpg

Not as often, I montage several pictures to a larger one. Today I
did, this way:

     montage sidebyside?.jpg -geometry +0+0 out-sidebyside.jpg
     montage stagged?.jpg -tile 1x2 -geometry +0+0 out-stagged.jpg

If you know how, then it's so easy ... even easier  than  in  the
Gimp. The important option is `-geometry +0+0'!
