I said earlier how I was making that image cropper. It has quite a few features that will be useful in just simple image manipulations. A few of the features are cropping an image, flipping or rotating an image, adding a text overlay to the image, making the cropped image output at a certain size or percentage, and soon you will be able to add a watermark image onto the image. All of this is done with the GD library in PHP. The front end is completely coded in Javascript. I have tested it on Firefox, Safari, and IE and it works like a charm. The basic object movement comes from YoungPup’s Dom-Drag JS script. Anyways, I have a working example (note: right now you can only manipulate the one image, in the future you will be able to upload or transfer your own images to edit and then save) of the cropper.

Update: I added an upload form to be able to use your own images with the cropper. Check it out.
