Getting Image Crop from media-picker file
Hi there,

I've been trying to find a way to get the crop urls from a media-picker file.

here is my code that displays the "topImage" from the media picker, what do I have to add to get a specific crop?
```
@{
   if (Model.Content.HasValue("topImage", true))
  {
      var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("topImage", true));
      <img src="@mediaItem.GetPropertyValue("umbracoFile")" alt="@mediaItem.GetPropertyValue("Name")" />
   }
}
```
I've been google-ing for hours without finding exactly what i need.

mvh

Hey, check out last weeks uHangOut where I went through the cropper in detail. You can find the example site used in uHangOut here Specifically what you are looking for is here

Thanks Jeavon,

Does that also work for Umbraco 6.1.6 ?

Ah no, for v6 you should take a look at the documentation here

However I would recommend also taking a look at CropUp which is the inspiration behind the v7 cropper

Thanks Jeavon,

I ended up using the CropUp as I couldn't get the normal cropper to work.

This then worked for me.

@{
if (Model.Content.HasValue("topImage", true)) {
var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("topImage", true));
var newURL = @mediaItem.GetPropertyValue("umbracoFile");
<img src="@CropUp.GetUrl(newURL.ToString(), new ImageSizeArguments { Width = 960, Height = 201 })" />
}
}

Great, CropUp is definitely the best cropping solution for v6 projects.
