<p>Get the Image is one of the most advanced thumbnail/image scripts ever created for WordPress.</p>
<p>It is used everywhere from small blogs to large, enterprise-level solutions like <a href="http://vip.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress.com VIP</a>.  Get the Image offers something for everybody. Much of the reason for its success is because it uses standard WordPress code and methods for doing what it needs to do, which is to simply grab images.</p>
<p>The plugin was designed to make the process of adding thumbnail, featured, slider, gallery, and other images to your blog much easier, but it’s so much more than that.  It is an image-based representation of your WordPress posts.</p>
<p>This is a highly intuitive script that can grab an image by custom field input, WordPress’ featured image, post attachment, or extracting it from the post’s content.  Plus, a lot more!</p>
<h3>Before using</h3>
<p>Please note that Get the Image requires that you understand and know how to edit your theme’s PHP code, at least to the extent of copying and pasting one line of code.  If you’re not comfortable doing this, it’s best to ask that your theme author integrate the code necessary to support this plugin.</p>
<h3>A little history</h3>
<p>The original plugin was in launched 2008, which means it has several years of solid testing and development behind it.  It was created at a time when WordPress had very little native media support.  At the time, it was mostly used as a “thumbnail” script for magazine-/news-style sites.  But, it has grown into a much more flexible script over the years.</p>
<p>Even with WordPress’ more recent advancements in image management, many users still continue using this plugin because it offers a more robust image script than core WordPress.</p>
<p>The plugin has been downloaded 100,000s of times and is used on millions of sites as part of WordPress theme packages.</p>
<p>Other image plugins have come and gone, but Get the Image has stood the test of time with several years of successful installs and happy users.</p>

<p>This is an easy and fast way to crop any uploaded image in your wordpress. No more complicated graphical editors, photos of people without head or products with wrong view. Select a thumbnail, edit the crop area and save the new thumbnail image.</p>
<p>This plugin doesn’t create any new file or folder, when it saves the new crop area it rewrites the original thumbnail file, this means it doesn’t affect the theme design 🙂</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>The plugin automatically use all images created with the function <em>add_image_size</em> even if they are hard cropped or proportional. More info in https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size#Crop_Mode</li>
<li>“Crop Editor” quick link in media list.</li>
<li>“Crop Editor” link in featured image widget.</li>
<li>“Crop Editor” button inside file details in media manager.</li>
</ul>

<h3>How to use it</h3>
<ol>
<li>Select an image, open the image editor and click on the Crop Editor button.</li>
<li>Choose the image size you want and crop it.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Recomendations</h3>
<p>If you are a developer and you need to rebuild the thumbnails we recommend use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ajax-thumbnail-rebuild/ it helps you to do it one at a time.</p>
<p>IMPORTANT: Notice that rebuilding thumbnails will overwrite the thumbnails cropped with the TTT Crop plugin.</p>
<h3>Hacks</h3>
<p>Just copy&paste this code into your functions.php</p>
<p><strong>Remove sizes from the editor</strong></p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'tttcrop_image_sizes', 'custom_tttcrop_image_sizes');
function custom_tttcrop_image_sizes( $sizes ) {
    unset( $sizes['thumbnail'] );
    unset( $sizes['large'] );
    return $sizes;
}
?>
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Remove thumbnails sizes from the editor for an specific post type</strong></p>
<pre><code>function custom_tttcrop_image_sizes_CPT($sizes) {

    foreach ($sizes as $key => $values) {
        if ($key == 'THUMBNAIL-SIZE1')
            $new[ $key ] = $values;
        elseif ($key == 'THUMBNAIL-SIZE1')
            $new[ $key ] = $values;            
    }

    return $new;
}
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Change the name of the image to human friendly names</strong></p>
<pre><code>function local_ttt_crop_human_name($name) {
    switch( $name ) {
        case 'single-slider';
            return 'Home slider image'; break;
        case 'widget-thumbnail';
            return 'Widget small image'; break;

        default:
            return $name; break;
    }
}
add_filter('ttt_crop_human_name','local_ttt_crop_human_name');
</code></pre>
<p>This will change the name of the image inside the tooltip when it is selected.</p>
