EE5: Is there really no add-on that adds (proper) image crop functionality?
Development and Programming
Searched devot:ee, EE add-ons directory and GitHub and can’t believe there really is no (simple) EE5 compatible add-on that allows simple image cropping using pre-defined sizes?
Channel Images of course somehow does the job, but you cannot specify a fixed crop size or aspect ration as default values for the image edit when the user wants to alter the standard crop from center for example.
Am I missing something. Sounds like a pretty common requirement to allow users to crop their image uploads to specified aspect ratios or sizes? Overall it seems that Channel Images is currently the only media/image add-on that supports EE5?
Just to be sure, our use case would be: Specify an image size or ratio on file/image field level, users uploads image, image gets cropped to specified size/ratio, user isn’t happy with the cropped area and wants to edit the image, editor pops up, shows (fixed to defined size/ratio) rect marquee selection tool, user selects new crop area, done.
Thanks, looks good (and even comes with a trial). Specifying a crop ratio seems to work fine, but using a fixed (min/max) px size instead seems to have hiccups. I’ll try their support to see how good that is 😊
TJ from buzzing pixel provides excellent support so I’m sure he will be able to help you out.
Great, thanks. I’ll follow up here afterwards just in case someone else is having the same requirements/issues.
I use Ansel for image fields almost exclusively, it’s great.
