Provided a set of focus rectangles, will crop the image while preserving the specified areas.
Coordinates must be in the source image coordinates.
Requires mode=crop and width and height to be specified to activate.
Installation
- Reference ImageResizer.Plugins.Faces.dll
- Add
<add name="CropAround" />to the<plugins />section.
Syntax
- c.focus=x1,y1,x2,y2
- c.focus=x1,y1,x2,y2,x1,y2,x2,y2…..
- c.zoom=true (Crop as closely as possible to rectangles)
- c.zoom=false (Crop minimally to meet required aspect ratio)
- c.finalmode=crop|pad|max|stretch|carve (If we can't meet the desired aspect ratio given our constraints, what do we do next?)
Special ability when installed alongside the Faces plugin
- c.focus=faces - Performs on-the-fly face detection and uses those coordinates. Can be resource intensive, so disk caching is recommended.
This plugin (CropAround plugin) is part of the Elite Edition
