any website with just a few lines of Javascript, adding simple yet powerful
image editing to an existing workflow. It is optimized for the latest versions
of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer (IE9). The editor also works
in mobile browsers, so it will function on handheld touch-screen devices, but
it works best on tablets.collective.aviaryreplaces the standardTransformtab in native Image
content type with a new one that invokes the Aviary photo editor.NoteAviary Basic SDK maximum output resolution is 1 megapixel on its web

we wanted to use. On the other side, creating a new package with support
only for Aviary allow us better control of its features.plone.app.imagecroppingAllows images to be manually cropped usingJcrop, a jQuery image
cropping plugin. This package aims to beTHE cropping solution for Plone
that just works™. Unfortunately, the package only use case is cropping
