Crop a range of images to the same size

I have a series of images I would like to crop by having a 'cropping rectangle' of fixed size, that I can position slightly differently on each image to be cropped. If I resized them, they would all resize from the same vantage, where I want to trim different parts of different images, and have them all come out the same size.

Fixed Size Cropping

I'd love to automate this using imagemagick (or similar) and scripting; but it sounds like you want to manually position the crops, so here we go with GIMP:

1) The selection tool (r) has a Fixed mode, for choosing a specific aspect ratio, width, height, or size. The last is what you are looking for.

2) Having chosen your size, click on your image and drag to position the box as desired.

3) Crop by going to Image -> Crop to selection, or quicker since you will be doing several images, alt+i -> c.

4) Done and save!

(Mandelbrot fractal thanks to Filters -> Render -> Fractal Explorer)

Happy cropping!
