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?!

#1
Second this.
It would be highly beneficial for several reasons. Foremost in my mind are:
#2
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"
#3
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?
