I really like uvumi's cropper. The solution used to get the crop box is probably the best solution out there. Instead of drawing 4 boxes for the masking, only one is drawn. A clipped box is used to create the illusion. Great stuff. One thing I miss when compared to moocrop is the multiple resizing boxes, in any direction. For me I find this useful as it gives you a bit more control and flexibility when cropping.
I am very close to an update I will have it up as soon as possible. I am implementing the clipping technique that uvumi uses. I am also keeping the multiple resize handlers. The big hot feature is a rubberband select. This allows you to draw a rectangle anywhere in the image. I am adding keyboard support for adjustments as well. The one feature that I am making rock solid is the ratio constraints. Right now its just a flag set to true and it depends on the default width and height to calculate. Since the rubberband selection is being implemented and you will have the ability to have no default selection I am implementing a ratio contraint property in this fashion ratio : "2:3". Other features I am toying around with is a 'snap' and 'grid' feature these would work identical to the properties within the Drag object. I also like the zoom and will get to it but right now it would delay me releasing and I don't want to do that any longer. The biggest thing about image cropping is it is dependant on server side operations. I have an infastructure in place for media management right now that works very well for me and my clients. I am curious if anyone would be interested in utilizing a backend management tool. If so what kind of requirements do you have?
