You may be interested to know that we've just published a symfony plugin called sfDoctrineJcroppablePlugin which probably does what the original poster was looking for.
It's a behaviour for your models which adds image handling & visual cropping on the backend and can be used with the admin generator. It uses the Jcrop javascript library to provide a user interface for selecting the crop and utilises the sfImageTransformPlugin to create the crops. You're able to specify multiple sizes of generated images per crop and it allows easy access to the cropped images for the front end. Please check it out here: http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/sfDoctrineJCroppablePlugin We'd be interested to hear any feedback.
