images

Well, the title does not say much. But I need to have profile images: A maximum of 4 images per profile, on browsing, only a thumb.

but I need some help on this:

1. Any picture, portrait or landscape which is uploaded through frontend, need to be visible on the site in the same size, so that each profile has the same sized image. I know I can set a determined height and width for displaying on frontend, or maybe I need cropping or clipping for that, but how?

2. Any picture also need to get a thumb. Used in browsing. I see some modules for cropping, but how to accomplish the cropping in the frontend. Example, you see a picture you uploaded, and then you can move a square over the picture and say, yes, this is the part I want...

3. If I need the same module for both (1 and 2) it would not work I guess.

This sounds like a case for Apeisas Thumbnail module: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/fieldtype-crop-image/ - especially for #2.

Otherwise, and without a dependency for a contributed module, $image->size(400, 600); will work.

Yes for 2 this would work. But I am unknown as to how to add this to a frontend upload and let the owner of the image crop it.

Oh sorry, I misread. Maybe apeisa could tell if this is possible and what frontend JS dependencies (for example) this would have.

Maybe just take a look at apeisa's thumbnail modules internals. The cropping is done on an extra page, so maybe you can refactor this for your needs.
