Advanced custom image cropping #3719

Open Serhii-DV opened 12 years ago

Serhii-DV commented 12 years ago

I propose you to add an advanced custom image cropping feature. It is an additional feature for current cropping option.

The idea is on image: http://gyazo.com/43429e917d03a51b0f4f17cc6ef5e4b4.png

We can use CwCrop MooTools plugin.

I have written a (commerical) extension, which has exactly this requested feature for the contao file manager. I am currently working on a widget version of this functionality...

I was going to add a post to talk about cropping images and I came across this message.

In fact, many of my clients don't have photo editing software and therefore can not update their website independently.

I think the cropping image should be integrated by default in Contao. It doesn't replace a real software like Photoshop, but could be an "acceptable" solution for mainstream users.

The idea would be :

- Trim all types of images directly from the browser The .jpg, .png, .gif while concervant their properties... (eg transparency for .png)

- Create pre-formatted dimensions Generally the images are of different sizes but are often repeated. For example, the header will always 800x250px, a thumbnail in a sidebar will always 300x300px, ... Being pre-format dimensions allow lambdas users don't have to remember different size images of site

- Keep or delete the original If cropping is final, is replaced by the original image file. Otherwise, we create a new file on the server.

- Associate an image one or more thumbnails In some cases (responsive design), it may be useful to have different image sizes. Thus, one would associate with a different thumbnail picture automatically and to choose excactement thumbnail to use.

It's a good idea, right ?

I think it is a great idea, but it could be very complex for a normal user, couldn't it?

Complex?

It's precisely to facilitate the use of Contao it would add such functionality!

Many of my clients don't know how to use photo editing software : Photoshop / Gimp / ...

But this isn't just a matter of customers .... I find it faster to use this online tool in Contao directly, rather than through Photoshop.

Because in Photoshop you need to : open the file / change settings / save for web / replace the file on the server.

With such a tool you earning a lot of time, because everything is done online / automatically.

Such a solution would solve many problems of dependency.
