Automator Propper Cropper
The image crop action shipped with Automator automatically centers on the image in question. Useless if you want to grab the upper left corner, or any area come to think of it, of a bitmap.
Propper Cropper is an image crop action that allows you to select the location of the cropping area.
Download Propper Cropper.dmg 81k.
To install mount the disk image and copy the action file to System>Library>Automator. You’ll probably be prompted for your administrator password.
The crop action will now appear in automator under the preview library.

I am looking for something to put in a script to crop a photo. I would rather use applescript and call the action from the tell application command but I can’t find any data about putting in the image / pixel info.
can you tell me how this would be done or a sample statement?
thanks.

This was great, but would be perfect if it also had the option of scaling before the crop, like the crop image script in Preview.
