Cropping dynamically

burn · August 16, 2007

Hi All,

I dig around a bit to see if I could find something on this. I would like to be able to crop images when I load them from smugmug (to make square thumbs etc.). I saw there is a crop method, but couldn't find the exact parameters, and I'm guessing it crops the image permanently. I just want to crop it when displaying, but leave the original alone.

I can probably do this with CSS, but thought I'd ask.

Thanks!!

Are you only referring to the thumbnails? See this thread.

I read thru part of that thread - will read more today (it's very long!!)

What I would like to do is retrieve images like this:

http://<nickname>.smugmug.com/photos/<imageId>-300x300.jpg and have it scale and crop the photo to fit both dimensions. Right now, it just scales, but retains the aspect ratio of the image (if it's a rectangle, for example).

I just want squares. <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/headscratch.gif" border="0" alt="" >

Thanks for any input!

BTW, this is for loading photos on my own (non-smugmug) site.

The bulk thumbnail resizer looks great, but I need larger images.

Thanks!
