AEM set focus point on an image in assets

[anasustic]

Hi,

Is there a way to find out in /crx/de if an image in assets has a focus point set? Any metadata used for focus point?

I searched for it in here but cannot find it:

Updating Media

Also how does one go about saving the "Set focus point" on the image? I cannot see any save option there.

Hi @anasustic,

As far as I know, there is no OTB metadata parameter for focal point in an AEM Asset.

The smart crop feature in Dynamic Media uses focal point internally to select asset according to breakpoint.

You can try to use a npm library like focuspoint which allows you to view images in all different ratios after the user has defined a focus point (hot spot) in the image while uploading it.

Hope this helps!
