Hello all,

I am creating my first property editor which I have managed to do successfully in Umbraco V5.

However, from within that property editor I'd like to check if another property on the currently edited content node has a value.

I'm trying to create an image cropper. My property editor has been set on a media type that inherits from Image.

I'd like to check if an image has been uploaded, and if it has provide the ability to crop a copy of it.

How do I go about this? I've looked into surface controllers but am not sure how they work with property editors.

I'm following along to this great tutorial: http://umbraco.com/follow-us.aspx?filterby=Jupiter (RGBA colour picker)

I'd like to adapt it to work with jCrop.

Please, any advice on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated, i'm struggling with it.

This is my first attempt at using umbraco 5 and MVC.

Thanks in advance.

Dean
