I don't have an answer to your question, but if all you need is cropping, I have a shameless plug for a moderately simple tool I wrote a while ago: https://lumidify.org/git/croptool/log.html It's mainly written for cropping many similar images quickly, but I also use it for cropping single images. The actual command for cropping the image is output to stdout (see the manpage). -- lumidify
