I'm looking for some functionality that I'm not sure currently exists out the box and wondered if any has solved this or there are any plans to add this to Umbraco in future.
I want to allow my users to use the Image Cropper (allowing on page cropping) however select the image from the Media Library.
or
I want to allow be user to use the Media Picker to select images (but show the crops and allow on page cropping) within the DocType, rather than having to manage the crops within he Media Library

Hi Owen
Well, you are not alone - go vote for this issue: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-6223 :)
Hi Owen
Had a similar issue on a site, which was upgraded from 6 to 7, and built a bit of a prototype editor:
https://github.com/marcemarc/OutCrop/tree/master/beta/Our.Umbraco.OutCrop
That could be attached to a single media picker property editor, and used to edit the crops in the content section:

bit clunky, but it has helped me out on a couple of sites now when editors expect this to be possible!
