A great image editing plugin for WordPress
Posted by: Sean | Posted on: August 30th, 2009 | 0 Comments
A great feature of the Wordpress platform is that it allows you to easily implement pictures into your posts & pages with little to no effort.
However there has always been one thing missing from this, that is the ability to crop, and rotate your images live whilst you upload them. On numerous occasions i have uploaded a picture and then realized that i had put it the wrong way round. I would then have to re-upload a rotated version; this all takes time, time that i could use doing something else.
Tonight i was looking about the Wordpress plugin's page and found a great small plugin that lets you crop, resize, rotate and add watermarks to your pictures. You do not have to upload a picture then go to a different page in your admin panel to edit the picture, the plugin is implemented into the existing Wordpress image upload box and it only takes 2 seconds to fix up a picture.
I know for sure i will be using this plugin a lot in the future. The plugin is called: Scissors and can be found on the Wordpress plugin directory.
A Good Idea For A WordPress Plugin/Feature

I was thinking that when it comes to writing a blog post, at least once i will make a spelling mistake. Usually i will save the post as a draft and then pop over to see a preview of how the post will look once i finally publish it. I would then read through the full post and look for any spelling mistakes that i may have done and not noticed.
I always find at least one. I was thinking that a great plugin/feature that could be made or implemented into wordpress would be the abilitly to edit the post live when viewing your site. So the concept of this would be that it would only work if you were logged into you site and then view the site while logged in, it would be great that if i was looking at a post that i could just click the text and edit it live without having to continuously flick to and from the post editor, it would save a lot of time and would be such a convenience.
That is just a thought i was having, as far as i know this has not been made for wordpress yet, and if it has i would love to know how i can do it :D
If i had any idea how to go about making a wordpress plugin i reckon i would try and make one like this as i am sure a lot of people would benefit from a live text editior for wordpress.
