This is out of scope of  foreground-image per se but anyway...

What will happen if image does not support pixel cropping
in principle? SVG for example. And I think croping of jpegs and a-gifs 
is also not a good idea.

I would rather think about packaging bunch of related images 
into something similar to tar, mime or zip files.
