Description

I think imagecrop and imagefield_crop should merge into one project. Both projects have good and bad points and it's very tough deciding which one to use.

imagecrop strengths
Nice, integrated interface

imagefield_crop strengths
Keeps original image (thanks to imagecache integration)
Uses existing imagefield backend

I know there was talk of this merge in the past... what happened?!

Second this.

It would be highly beneficial for several reasons. Foremost in my mind are:

  • Site-wide consitency in the UI across image inclusion methods, which would have immediate tangible benefits as well as the long-term benefit of building momentum for further consistency in this area.
  • A better UI. I don't mean this pejoratively. The imagecache crop UI is still a bit buggy and unfinished.

I dont like how imagefield_crop is "inline". If someone uploads a very big image it breaks the layout of my theme. I haven't used it in awhile so maybe its different now idk. The demo seemed like it worked good.

The main thing I really like about imagecrop is how I can set up different presets. This allows the user to crop a different section for the teaser img. check out this drupal post.. kinda old but explains more detail. "Relevance-Enhanced Image Reduction and image presets"

I'm trying to get imagefield_crop and imagecache working with ubercart, but seem to be having a few issues. I don't have time to debug at the moment, but has anyone got this combo working before?
