But those aren't the right tools for the job!  If you were calculating
the dimensions dynamically then you would use those for that part of
the task.  But not for image cropping.

ImageMagick is the right tool for the job.  It is what I have always
used before!

The command would be more like:

  convert -crop 140x300+10+10 someimage-in.jpg someimage-out.jpg
