Imagecache: Manually adjust crop?

By tflmike on 10 Jul 2008 at 19:45 UTC

Howdy folks!

I recently installed the imagecache module and I was looking at the image processing presets.... I was wondering if there's a way to manually adjust the crop of an image? Has anyone out there figured this out?

Thanks!

What do you mean "figured this out"? Its not exactly clear what you are asking. You can adjust various settings for the crop such as offset, height and width but if you are looking for something that you can manually edit the image with inside Drupal then imagecache is not the solution - it just doesn't offer that functionality.

Pimp your Drupal 8 Toolbar - make it badass.
Adaptivetheme - theming system for people who don't code.

Ok... to be more specific,

Ok... to be more specific, here's what I'm trying to do:

I'm trying to use 3 modules together.
1. Inline (because I want to place images anywhere I want in the node)
2. Lightbox2 (because I want that image to have that cool lightbox functionality) and
3. Imagecache (because it creates a thumbnail from my original image and because it works with Lightbox2 and Inline).

So I actually have all set up and working, but the automated thumbnail cropping looks like poop. So I'm trying to figure out a way I can either a) manually adjust the crop of the thumbnail after uploading or b) upload two already scaled/cropped images and use one as the thumb and the other as the original size pic while maintaining the ability to put the inline image anywhere I want in the content and keeping the lightbox2 functionality... whew! :) That was a keyboard-full...

I know that imagecache doesn't have that functionality. So I guess I'm just asking all the Drupal peeps out there if they might know a better way to do what I described above or if someone can point me in a better direction.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
