From what I can see, the problem with sfThumbnail for th JS Image Cropper is that it only resizes the image rather than cropping and resizing. So I had to create a new class that extends the both the sfThumbnal class and the gdadaptor class. I did this to make use of all the other good parts of the sfThumbnail plugin.
I have everything working, I just wanted to make sure it was as clean as possible as I am hoping to include this in many projects to come.
