1.1. Introduction

What does it do?

  1. individual cropping for each thumbnail in content elements

  2. crop all thumbnails with fixed aspect ratio within a content element (detection for portrait and landscape)

  3. thumbnails with fixed aspect ratio can have individual crops with the correct aspect ratio

  4. uses imgareaselect for cropping

  5. works with and without dam

  6. its a good idea to set thumbnails to png and gdlib flag to 1 for better quality
