Crop Image Like Orkut
- 10 Comment
Online Photoshop in PHP (Series Part 4) >>

Today we will discuss about cropping of images using php and gd library.
Look at the simple example here:
http://www.sajithmr.com/photoshop-tuts/crop/simplecrop.php
$x1 = $_GET['x1']; $y1 = $_GET['y1']; $x2 = $_GET['x2']; $y2 = $_GET['y2']; $image_object = imagecreatefromjpeg('hari.jpg'); $image_cropped = Crop($image_object,$x1, $y1, $x2,$y2); $temp_path = rand(1,99999)."hari.jpg"; imagejpeg( $image_cropped,$temp_path); header('Location: simplecrop.php?img='.$temp_path ); ?>
Here the Crop function is doing the real work. x1 and y1 are Top-Left Coordinates of new image and x2, y2 are the Bottom-Right .
Here is the function for Crop
function Crop($image, $xpos1,$ypos1,$xpos2,$ypos2) { require_once('class.cropcanvas.php'); $cc =& new CropCanvas(); $cc->loadImageFromObject($image); $cc->cropToDimensions($xpos1, $ypos1, $xpos2,$ypos2 ); return $cc->getImageObject(); } ?>
You can see the class.cropcanvas.php file from the attachment.
In the above example, we have to enter each coordinates manually. See the example below:
http://www.sajithmr.com/photoshop-tuts/crop/realcrop.php
Here you can select the area by click and drag (like orkut)
This is implemented with the help or jslib javascript. The given attachment in the end of this post contains the all.

Someone should make a “facebook / flickr” style image tagging script based on this where you can tag people or interesting things in a photo. I’m sure the right person could do it!

Very impressive!
I have a newbie question though. How would I lock the aspect ratio for the realcrop example (like 6×4 or 3×5)?
Thanks.

Harry, use this:
Event.observe(
window,
‘load’,
function() {
new Cropper.Img(
‘cropimage’,
{
onEndCrop: onEndCrop,
ratioDim:{x:7.6923,y:10},
}
)
}
);
Set the proportions to 1/1 in the “ratioDim” line.February 10th, 2009 at 5:57 pm -
