Looking for a good (and free) image cropping program.  Anyone have any links?
Teebor:
GIMP

http://gimp.org/downloads/

Thats the program btw :)

Its free, been a while since I used it but you should find it pretty functional.  Might have to take a look at what it can do since I last used it actually :)

Thanks for the link.  I've used Gimp, however; I'm looking for a cropping program which has a boundary tracer for fast, accurate cropping which I haven't found on Gimp.  I have been using a trial version of Photo Crop Editor, but it leaves a watermark on the photo unless I shell out the $30 for a registered version.  Just thought there would be another program out there that does the same thing as PCE.  Any other suggestions?
MaximRecoil:
I've used Irfanview for the past 7 years or so for cropping, since it is tiny (about 1 MB) and loads instantly. It has quality Lanczos resizing filters, can do batch file conversions, rotations, extract GIF animations to individual frames, can take screenshots with a hotkey that saves directly to a file, can open and convert to nearly any image format under the sun, among other things. Cropping is done quickly by dragging an outline for the crop area with your mouse and pressing Ctrl+Y.

Edit:

No automatic boundary tracer in Irfanview that I know of. I use Photoshop if I need that (obviously not freeware).
Neverending Project:
Mac OS Leopard ships with some decent alpha masking and cropping tools built right into Preview, their image/PDF viewing app. If you want, send me the file and I will take a look at it an see if Preview can do any good for you (unless you have access to a mac with Leopard).
