Hello all,

Is it possible to have the uploaded image re-sized before cropping?
For example:
1) user uploads image 800x600
2) image is automatically re-sized to 400x300
3) user crops the 400x300 image to show the area the user chooses

Thank you-

if you select the crop area size in the field configuration page, the image will be resized to that size before it is presented to the user.
However, to maintain image quality, the original will be used for doing the crop itself, so you can enjoy both worlds.

To save server space I was thinking of:

- Allow user to select and upload file that is 800x600, BUT save the 400x300 version of the server and not the 800x600 size for the user to crop and edit.

Is this a possibility?

Thanks!

As most people prefer image quality to disk space, this is the way it is designed and implemented.

I will accept a patch that allows this option, but I have no plans implementing this myself.

Thanks!
