I was (in the first instance) planning to use just Image Magick like I do now. The only thing I wanted was to display the picture, move the rectangle around to select the part to crop and then let Image Magick do the cropping. But your link says sharp is 4-5 times as fast, so I probably should switch. Maybe I could use sharp to convert from 5.184x3.456 to 648x432 and then display that. But how can I then draw the outline of a square on it to select the part to crop? (And maybe I should display that part separately while selecting. But that will be phase two.) By the way: what is better to use for GUI? JavaFX or Swing? JavaFX is the better technology (I understood), but maybe SeeSaw is more mature.
