Imagemagick is a great set of tools, but not what OP is asking for.  And 
having explored the "Convert" command a bit, I can say it would be 
easier for OP to fire up GIMP to do what he wants.  convert would be 
great if you wanted to clip As I understand it, the idea is to be 
looking at an image, select some arbitrary part of the image with a 
mouse, click "Print" and having the option to print the entire image or 
just the selection.

GThumb was mentioned but, at least in my implementation requires that 
you save the cropped file then open it.  Otherwise the print command 
prints the entire image.  F-Spot photo viewer will allow this, but it 
automatically saves a "modified" version of the file (it does not 
overwrite the original)
