 * Can someone please explain what the “crop?” option does? What happens when it
   is checked? What happens when it is not checked? I thought all wordpress thumbnails
   were cropped from the original image?

 * Hi,
    You can look in the codex : [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size)
   At the title **Crop Mode**, this is quite well explained 😉
