That's true for lossless. But the cropping itself is always destructive.


no it isn't.


You misunderstood. If you crop an image to keep only the left side, the
right ride of the image will be gone. Meaning that the crop function itself
removes data. Whether there's an undo or redo functionality or not, that an
entire different function.


bmp is obsolete.


In a Mac OS, BMP isn't even the native image container. So, I would be
obvious that most, if not all of Mac softwares don't use BMP.

In Windows however, not so. BMP is the native image format in that OS. i.e.
used by the graphic kernel.
