What is the best way to handle images with the RTE? Is it possible to have a image handler of somekind that can crop and resize pictures when a user upload and insert a picture in the RTE?
Depending on which version of Umbraco you are running there are a couple of good media section image editors, my favorite is the pixlr one but not sure if it is 4.5 compatible.
When I create sites i tend to set the limit for images inserted into the RTE that way the client cant add in any huge images.
Hope this helps, I would be interested to find out what others do.
You can set the maximum default size of inserted images in the RTE data type. Also when you resize an image within the RTE it creates a new image file on disk at the new size (the filename gets set to the orginal filename + the x & y dimensions)
I think this is a good approach and the best you're stuck with at the moment untill the pixlr package is updated perhaps, because that is a sweet approach as well.
Otherwise I think it should be possible to use some replacement stuff with an image handler like imagegen...but this would really be a cumbersome approach the way I see it.
Image handling in the RTE

What would you guys do?

+1 for what Doug said.

Guess I have to wait for the Pixlr package to be done :).

there are two fixes for the pixlr package, one new dll, one config file edit.

I am trying the image resizing in the RTE and it seems to work well... except... the image that shows in the RTE changes to a broken image.
