not sure if I fully understand but you want to do the image resizing done by code?
Umbraco comes with ImageProcessor which can be used for auto resizing images based on query params I think.
No, I would like the image cropper to be able to "reduce" in size beyond the shortest edge of the image.
At the moment, we have a rectangular crop defined that is used on a listing page. A particular image that has been uploaded is much wider than it is tall and therefore the cropper does not allow the user to get / show the entire width of the image, because the cropper will not go any further when the image reaches the same height (or width) as the crop.
What I want is the ability to keep on reducing the image and pad the top / bottom (or left / right). Ideally I would also like to be able to move the image around within the padding space.
This is because we want the client to be able to upload their own images and create the crops themselves - and to be able to use the entire image even if it doesn't fit within / match the crop width / height ratio.
Enhance Image Cropper or replace with alternative
We have a problem with the built-in image cropper in V7 and this issue describes it perfectly -
http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-5693
With this client, it is not an option to expect them to manually resize / expand / pad images, so we need an Umbraco or code-based solution.
Is it possible to alter the functionality of the image cropper, or is there an alternative image cropper datatype?
Hi Gordon,

Maybe have a look into that.
