The intention of the new media cropper is that once you have defined it in the datatypes then you replace the upload property on the image in the settings section.
I don't think it makes any sense to use both at the same time?
Thanks for your answer and the usefull link! Actually it's more easy for my client to upload all his pictures in once in media as he has already a lot of folders created. So now, it could be nice if he can select an image from the media library and then apply the cropper ?
As Jan mentions above the cropper should be used instead of the upload, doing this doesn't remove the html5 drag a drop support for media upload. However you can update the "Upload" umbracoFile property type with a "Cropper" on the existing "Image" media type. Then you will have the crop options for all existing media and when you use the GetCropUrl method it will actually even work with the existing media that hasn't yet been saved with the Cropper as the method can be used with "Upload" type as well a "Cropper" type properties.
I would certainly recommend you test this in a non production environment first.
Cropper in Umbraco 7
Hello,
Do you know if it's possible to use the built-in image cropper with both existing media (media picker) or with upload file ?
Thank you in advance!

You can see some documentation on how to use the new cropper here http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Using-Umbraco/Backoffice-Overview/Property-Editors/Built-in-Property-Editors-v7/Image-Cropper
Hope this helps!
