Feature request

[vegardsando]

I'm sorry if this request shouldn't be here. If that is the case, please remove it, I won't mind.

I have this request that came out of a need on a site I'm working on for a photographer.
It's basically about cropping images.

Would it be possible to extend this plugin, or perhaps create a new one based on this that allows a user to; - Create a FIELD that contains an image you select from assets, AND the crop control of this plugin. Then the system would create a copy of the original asset, only with the cropping you selected. Instead of saving it over the original asset? This could be used to create specific cropping on images for phones, tables and desktops. Without cruttering the actual assets folder.

I'm aware there are some plugins that allows this, also Craft has ways of doing this, based on a dropdown where you can select 'top, center, bottom' etc. But that would hardly suffice for the photographer who needs exact control of the cropping.

This is certainly possible to incorporate, although its probably more for down the track when a full editor experience is implemented. This would allow for essentially a 'save as', and much more. Marking as a feature request for now - the best approach would be to fork this plugin and create something for your specific needs.
