I need user to be able to upload multiple images on a page (as many as they like) and then crop the output.
At first I thought to use archetype to wrap an image cropper but the image src value is lost somewhere in the wrapping process.
So then I tried just applying the crop without the user selecting a focal point but that does not work well and images are more often than not cut badly. I saw a post someone made where they had a custom image control that let you set a focal point but I can't find it again.
Is there anyway for me to allow user to crop an image in the media section? The image cropper doesnt seem to touch original file so I am not sure how best to work this.
Image cropper only works on one image, it does not have a multiple image select option. I want user to select multiple images with multiple media picker.
Can you make the standard image cropper crop images in the library without a content page and save the output image instead of crop json?
I tried imagegen and cropurl already but I really need user to set focal points for it to work right.
Did you change the media picker to actually use the cropper? If you don't change this in the "Settings" section yourself then the cropper is not being used.
I think that you should try to see the uHangout http://uhangout.co.uk/video/bQsvGmnYaUU episode, where Jeavon, explains how the ImageCropper works. As I also linked to in my first post.
Thanks everyone for sticking with me, it's been a long night trying to get this site ready to be seen and my brain stopped working 4 hours ago. Watching the uHangout without skipping bits did the trick and I saw what my confusion was.
I couldn't work out which "settings" everyone was talking about as I could only see how to add it to a content type. I didn't realise you could swap the file upload property of the media type to a cropper! I think the legacy image picker was confusing me as I thought that is where the setting had to be done and there are no settings on it.
Need image cropping advice
Hi,
I need user to be able to upload multiple images on a page (as many as they like) and then crop the output.

Hey Mike,
Does the built in image cropper in umbraco 7 not do what you want?

Hi Mike,
Did you see the documentation for the image cropper https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Using-Umbraco/Backoffice-Overview/Property-Editors/Built-in-Property-Editors-v7/Image-Cropper, and perhaps it would be a good idea to see this http://uhangout.co.uk/video/bQsvGmnYaUU episode from uHangout where Jeavon, explains the image cropper and Slimsy.
Jeavon has also created a package called crop healer for Umbraco this package can you find here: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/collaboration/crop-healer-for-umbraco
Hope this can help you further.

Hi Mike,
It seems that Claus has been able to get et work with multiple images, so try to see this post https://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/razor/49499-Showing-cropped-images-from-multi-media-picker
Hope this helps,

I read post but cant see anything here other than standard image picker. There is no focal point being set.

Hi Mike,
I think Jan has worked out your issue but like Dennis I would recommend watching this video http://uhangout.co.uk/video/bQsvGmnYaUU

Got it!

I got the focal points on all images now :)
Thanks again.
Great to hear, well done!
