I'll look into it, but at a glance it looks like it's far more elaborate 
and feature-packed than I really need for my purposes. I've been using 
The GIMP for this since 2006, so I pretty much know how to make it work 
for me.

Assuming, of course, that GIMP 3.0 hasn't been changed so radically that 
the UI is completely new. Even so, I don't expect my distro's stable 
release to move away from 2.10 for a little while yet, so I should be 
good for this year's cropping plans.
