In general, I just want an API that provides a way to get & set cropping of images in different scenarios. As clever as it sounds to wrap some algo in a service, it won't cover all cropping cases (just faces at first) and will probably need a way for users to fine tune it anyway.
TL;DR; +1 but I think an image cropping & preference service is more valuable.
