Crop Images In Ubuntu Linux Using GIMP

GIMP is a free graphic manipulation tool which comes with Ubuntu by default. It is also a powerful image editor, just like Photoshop(which is for Windows). You can launch it from Application > Graphics > GIMP Image Editor. Image cropping is a piece-of-cake with GIMP and is a three step process. Open the image you wish to crop.
