Not gimp, not any C# or java based crap. Something that is extremely simple and trivial, open source, brilliant performance even on lame CPU (written in C or C++) that supports elementary imaging operations, especially simple cut and paste, resizing etc.
Right now I have to start mspaint in Virtual Box for simple cut and paste of image, which really sucks... |

I was interested too, but the upstream is not encouraging. There is no Gentoo dev, but that's no barrier. It looks like there is no upstream code and that IS a problem.
Upstream = http://sf-xpaint.sourceforge.net/

If you perform you will see a couple of other suggestions, there is mypaint, for example, which looks a bit more heavy than what you are asking, and the others allready mentioned. I guess xpaint would be your solution.
Happy cropping! |

pinta might be lightweight, but wow, check out what it draws in!
| Code: | # USE=minimal emerge -pv pinta
These are the packages that would be merged:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] media-gfx/pinta-1.6-r2::gentoo 1,411 KiB
[ebuild N ] dev-dotnet/mono-addins-1.0-r1::gentoo USE="gtk" 537 KiB

I use `display`, part of ImageMagick, for resize, rotate, crop and cut, etc. It has plenty of image manipulation tools. Also good for conversion from one image type to another.
Not sure that it qualifies as being C or C++, etc., and it isn't as lightweight as xpaint. |

| If you've already got qt4 installed for other reasons, I think there's a mspaint clone in dev-qt/qtdemo. |

Tony0945 ... see here ... but the ebuild should grab that for you. That said, the ebuild could do with a bump (the most recent package is 2.9.10.3 but there is a 2.10.1 from december 2016).
BTW, like cboldt I use 'convert' from media-gfx/graphicsmagick (or, media-gfx/imagemagick) for resizing, croping, etc, it's pretty simple (and scriptable ... if you need to manipulate multiple images).
| Code: | % convert -size 80x80 foo.jpg -resize 80x80 foo-80x80.jpg
% convert -scale 80% foo.jpg foo-80per.jpg
% convert -crop 853x368+0+56 foo.jpg foo-crop.jpg |

Thanks, Khay. Another package without a amaintainer. Pretty soon, I'll have more stuff in my /usr/local/portage than I have official ebuilds installed!
Ok, it's an exaggeration. I just finished an ebuild for the 2014 linuxtv-dvb-apps. The latest in portage is 2010. No maintainer, although it seems all of linuxtv is dead or dying upstream. I'll have to download everything I might use just in case. |

Heh. I have a handful in /usr/local/portage. You comment made me LOL. |
