i have just tried using PIL to crop and resize CMYK images (with CMYK as end result, no color mode conversion). I must say i was surprised how awfull the result look. Even though PIL is not supposed to touch the color mode, colors is totally fucked up in the modified image.
Can you provide an example of your image and your cropping script? The first thing that comes to mind is that there is a color profile attached to the original, and it's being stripped.
