The cropped image still gives excellent resolution.

Whenever I try to crop an image, I always loose some picture quality.

I am normally using FastStone image viewer.

Free version.

it depends on the quality of the original image. especially if you crop and then resize it to a larger version. it also depends on other aspects of an image, like amount of colors, surrounding items and detail depth.

but just by cropping alone you shouldn't loose image quality if you don't use strong jpg compression.

Assuming you mean that when you crop a pic the quality of the image drops, rather than the resolution changes, (it can be a bit confusing when an image is described as 'High quality' when what's really meant is the pic is 'big') then maybe you're saving in a lower image quality than the original, such as the original being a 'bitmap' but you save in 'Jpeg', especially if it's in less than 100% 'quality'.

This drop is even more noticable if the original is a screencap in 'PNG' format and you save in Jpeg.

I recommed always saving in 'bitmap' -windows bitmap if you use windows, but there are 1 or 2 other types.

When you crop a pic are you increasing the image size as well? That will affect image quality as well if you don't carefully use some sort of 'sharpen' filter to sharpen the edges of any now blurred object.

Try finding the different 'quality' modes it has and try them, if you haven't already done so.

I suppose it could be the program your using isn't all that good, as a way of making you buy the main version.
