And the imaging does much more than that; or rather, *can* do. The ETK integration provides context-based resizing of a master image.
The imaging module itself does the rescaling, "intelligent" cropping, but also provides a framework for * doing more transformations to your images (built-in, you'll find filters for resize/crop, but also text generation/overlay, and I should really commit other examples such as borders and b/w filters), * in a url-independent manner (i.e no "parameters" show up in the url other than the name of your transformation; as a matter of fact, it doesn't even need a url or servlet request to do anything, i.e it could be kick by the workflow or observation, for instance). * support high load (caching/queuing) * in typical Magnolia fashion, every piece of the puzzle is replaceable with your own. (i.e you could delegate the whole image processing to some external non-java tools, for instance; use some other caching mechanism; load images off different sources - although out of the box you'll find you can load from the repository, the classpath, or any supported url) Guess it's one of the those "why isn't this documented yet" piece of magic we have, eh ? -g On Feb 19, 2010, at 1:55 PM, Boris Kraft wrote: > > Uh, just noticed the screencast really doesn't show much… > > However, from a use-case perspective its easy enough to describe - upload a > master image, and set available image sizes.
