Since most people are using the imgAreaSelect plugin to implement image cropping interfaces, and I’ve received a few requests for a fully functional example of such a thing, I planned to write a tutorial on it. But, it seems someone already did this — WebMotionUK has a good article on building a simple tool that allows you to upload an image and crop it, with PHP and imgAreaSelect. So go ahead and read it.

If you have any other interesting examples of using imgAreaSelect, let me know — I’ll be happy to put a link here.

As promised, I’m releasing a new version of the imgAreaSelect plugin.

The plugin code has undergone significant reorganization to make it behave properly in some extreme cases — for example, when the image is placed in a scrollable div. I’ve also added a few features that were frequently requested (like an option to set the parent element).
