Not really no: I just wanted to know if I could solve the problem of
cropping. ;-)

But about the things being static. There is always exactly one, so
what is the problem with things being static? If it is a real no-no I
could change it.

I will look into it. I wanted to learn, now I have to. :-D

No, it was that I used a Panel instead of a JPanel. I copied that part
from somewhere of the internet. I found it a little bit strange that a
Panel was used instead of a JPanel, but I thought “What do I know”? I
changed it to JPanel and that problem went away. I had to add:
    super.paintComponent(g);
to the paint function (otherwise the old one stays ‘below’ the new one
and that is a problem when the new picture is smaller as the old one),
but that is a small price to pay. :-D

Next time I should listen to that little voice.

I am going to try this out.

I created the DispImage class to display the cropped image. And I am
going to use it to save it also. It is better to verify it before
saving it.

And something else I have to look into. I am happy to do, because I
found it much to verbose, but I did not know a better way.
