Nathan Van Gheem’s beautiful product-in-the-making, ATImageEditor, an image editor for Plone, is coming along nicely. Since I first wrote a gushy love note to it a couple weeks ago, Nathan’s been hard at work improving it with:
- Control over JPEG compression quality (very useful!)
- A new UI featuring a photoshop-style floating image editor palette (very spiffy!)
- Display of image dimensions and filesize
- Brightness/contrast and sharpen/blur adjustments
- Undo/redo support
Wow! This is probably the most day-to-day useful-for-end-users Plone product since Steve McMahon’s amazing PloneFormGen.
Nathan’s still got a pretty short todo list, so I’m hoping to see a final release soon! I’m sure he’d love to have a few more eyeballs on it to test, so if being able to edit images directly inside of Plone sounds good to you, give it a whirl!
For the impatient, here’s a one-minute screencast of ATImageEditor in action.
