I'll refrain from quoting dictionary.com to you. To crop a graphic, any
of the free editors is fine - irfanview, Xnview or Image Analyzer. If
you need to slice and dice, I have found Splitz

to be very useful.

Is there an editor that can do a batch crop of multiple pictures of
the same size using the same crop mask?

I believe IrfanView can do that, although I've never used the function.
The rest of the batch functions are very good and easy to set up.

I believe IrfanView can do this, although I've not used the function. In
the batch conversion/rename window, check Use advanced Options. You can
set the crop to x or y axis or size.

I knew that Irfanview allowed one to set custom crop sizes but I
didn't know it could crop in batch. I'll try your recommendation when
I get back to work and let you know the results. Thanks.

I tried it at home and it worked. However, I wish I didn't have to do
a conversion or rename in order to use the batch feature. Thanks so
much.

You don't have to do the rename. If you're feeling lucky... just to a
conversion to the same format in the same directory with the crop
settings and with "overwrite existing files" turned on.

I'll try that next time, with a non-lossy format such as png.
