Feature request: CROP_MODE_TOP

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would really like to see CROP_MODE_TOP. 

Why? Well, most because peoples heads are at the top. So when using 
CROP_MODE_CENTERED, the heads are nicely chopped of. 

Having a website showing a lot of people, I need to be able to NOT 
crop the top.

Thanks.

When using CROP_MODE_TOP, how would you expect a landscape-oriented photo to be 
cropped? To the left, center, right, or other?

I would expect it to crop center (I think) - so that just left, right and 
bottom sides got cropped.

I use this funtion in Photoshop quite often, since I'm working a lot with 
images of people.

After considering this, I think I'm going to split out the cropping code into 
different classes, which will be able to act as filters on the image. This will 
allow you to specify which cropping "filter" you want to use and will make it 
easier to add more filters for more specific situations like yours in the 
future.

Sounds like a good plan. 

When reading your question again, I see you asked for landscape images. I would 
still just crop left, right and bottom, because normally the most important 
part of a picture is at the top, not at the bottom.
