Left - Right cropping of image through workflow

[rk39193348]

Hi All ,

I want to crop the image , if the image has "left" word , ex "a-left.jpg" then from the left portion image should be cropped based on some ratio. Can this be down through a workflow ? 

Please please suggest.

Regards

RK

Hi,

Yes it can be done via workflow. You can create a workflow launcher which executes on image upload.

Workflow launcher will execute a workflow which will do :

1. Read image name, if name has ' left'

2. Crop image based in your ration

3. Do not perform anything if image does not have 'left'

Hi 

As mentioned by Praveen, you could achieve the desirable.

Community article, that can help you :- http://experience-aem.blogspot.com/2014/01/aem-cq-56-crop-images-in-workflow-step.html

//use the Dialog Participant Step and configure dialog with a CQ.html5.form.SmartImage widget. User selects crop co-ordinates; the next automated step in workflow reads crop numbers, crops the image and saves it as logo.png renditioon

I hope this would help you.

Thanks and Regards

This [1] shows how you can configure to execute a workflow lanucher based on some conditions. 

The 3 point mentioned will be part of ImageCropStep class  in [2]
