I've always thought about that same issue. I think there's some good JQuery / Ajax image upload and cropping plugins.
On a basic level, I'd probably allow an upload then refresh the same page after the successful upload. On reload, the page would be in the "editing" state, so instead of just showing the photo they just loaded, it's shown within the cropping editor with a "save changes" button below. Upon clicking that, the co-ordinates are sent to the controller action again and the page is reloaded again, this time with the final cropped / edited photo in place. I'd likely try to streamline this with Ajax image uploading though. Take a look at Malsup's Ajax image upload plugin for JQuery. http://jquery.malsup.com/form/#file-upload On Apr 18, 12:22 pm, "Krissy Masters" <naked.cake.ba...@gmail.com> wrote: > This is not a code how to question, just general functionality how to > question. > > I have a gallery, upload images and a cropper to select thumbs for the > images all set up and functionality working. > > But I want to know how do you edit your thumbs?
