I need to crop some images and decide to write a Java program for it.
At the moment it is very rudimentary, I plan to add some
functionalities and because I have very little experience with GUI
comments on how to implement the GUI better are welcome.


At the moment it is build with my camera's in mind and cropping for
InstaGram, but when it is seen as useful I will make it more generic.


I have a few problems, the most important are:
- After loading the first or a new image the first click makes the
  image disappear and painted again. Subsequent clicks do not have
  this problem.
- The original photo can be rotated. How can I find this out and make
  the cropped image also rotated?
- How can I add comment to an image?
- After saving the cropped image I want to display it also. What would
  be the best way to do this?

Some of the functionalities I want to add (other ideas are welcome):
- Working with different sets of cropping.
- Possibility to resize. (Select an area of 2.160x2.160 and crop it to
  1.080x1.080).
- Working with a database.
