I looked at your code and find it a bit disjointed (but I do have a 
rather linear outlook).  I guess it really depends on what you 
ultimately are trying to do though.  If I were going to write a GUI 
program to crop images today, I would:
	1) have a dialog to load an image (you have that) and display it along 
with its current dimensions
	2) have a method to scale the displayed image so that you can operate 
on images bigger than your monitor
	3) use something along the lines of my CropComponent to visually crop 
the image, showing the dimensions of the crop
	4) display the cropped image and its new dimensions, so it can be 
cropped again
	5) have a dialog to save the cropped image (you have that)

or get GIMP cause it does everything for free.  You might look at GIMP 
for their interface, it is really quite good.  The image is in its own 
dialog and all the tools are in a couple of others for handy access. 
Take a look at the Zoom options under the View menu to see what I mean 
about #2 above.
