ever had the need or whish for using a landscape version of a portrait picture as a teaser image?

you might have tried existing archetypes crop fields/widgets, which just select the top or the middle of the image which does not always make sense.

so this openspace is especially for you!



what's it about?

adding support to plone for additional image transformations apart from just scaling an image
for archetypes AND dexterity content


* cropping (automatic and for user defined areas)

* grayscale

* watermarks

* you name it...





our goal is:

to discuss and collect possible features and ideas on how they can be added to plone in form of an addon

if enough people are interested this could lead to an after-conference sprint or a remote workgroup for finishing this package





why resurrected?

we already tried to add additional image transforms to plone.app.imaging in bristol in 2010.

since it's harder to get things into the core, we now focus on creating a great addon as a first step
in order to not get stuck in implementation details.




hope to see you there!
