|

See Strip Cropping
   http://imagemagick.org/Usage/crop/#crop_strip

There are two things to keep in image.

   1/ without any offset arguments, crop will generate tiles
      so your command will generate two tiles from a 600x600 image

   2/ if one of the size arguments is missing it is treated as being
      equal to the virtual canvas size for that dimension
      As you did not mention a virtual canvas, I assume it will be the
      same as the images real size.
      
As such your example the arguments will be equivelent to   -crop 600x500
OR a 600x500 pixel wide strip, plus a 600x100 reminant tile.
