That's true for lossless. But the cropping itself is always destructive.

Other than that cropping obviously removes information, what do you
mean: I thought the non-destructive crop was just that (in the part of
the image you keep, obviously). Being as it (as implemented in
IrfanView, anyway) crops to the nearest 16 (I think it's 16) pixel
boundary. I assumed the reason it does that is t avoid loss.

but you can minimize the
loss, or avoid it by saving as BMP.)

and drastically increase its size.

IMO, BMP should only be used when a software doesn't support a better image
format. How it stores 24bpp image pixels is unacceptably wasteful.

In what way - does it use two 16-bit words, or something? Or do you just
mean it doesn't do any (even lossless) data-compression?
