About your comment that Plone is a CMS not an image editing tool: you’re missing the point. Or it is the point of view of a coder. The point from a user is that things have to be intuitive, or similar to what is common on other platforms you go to, or what makes sense to them, or what is logical to them.

All too often have we heard that argument as an explanation why something is not possible, never the other way around. As a user I find such an argument unimpressive, merely hiding behind a narrow definition and certainly not a positive contribution.

Tools like these show how the whole CMS argument can be proven wrong (and I am sorry but is doing some basic stuff to an image not “managing content” as well ??) and are, indeed impressive.

Aha, that makes a lot of sense, it’s a very useful feature.
Maybe implement as a button labelled “resize image to current zoom”?

One nagging concern is the “use zoom apparent” checkbox. I have heard from multiple people that this is confusing and I am unsure on how I should word it.

This feature applies the current zoom setting to the crop and resize so you essentially get an image that is the exact size you see on your screen. The reason I added this was because with massive images(2k x 2k range), it would take multiple clicks to get the size I wanted. By just using the zoom size that I saw on the screen, you’re able to get the exact size you want faster and more accurately.

Any comments on a better way of implementing it or wording the checkbox would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
