Not sure you know about the module CGSmartImage; it's (almost) perfect for this use. It does a lot of image stuff but it does NOT change the original image. Which in most occassions is good.

No solution for me right now. I'm going to write to the LISE developers to think about it (because i use LISE of all my new sites, and i'm ready to pay for that).

Then you must be looking to save server storage. Because if you worry about serving large images to visitors CGSmartImage would integrate perfectly into LISE templates (and all other modules' Front end templates)

Because editors usually don't know how an image will be displayed (what dimensions, etc). I determined a long time ago, that it's not always a good idea for editors to crop images... except in some limited cases. For example uploading an avatar... but then the uploader would need to have some intelligence for minimum and maximum sizes etc.
CGSmartImage can handle:
a - resizing the master image (to handle overly large images from cameras these days).
b - auto-rotating JPEG images
c - cropping and resizing in any way you want for display on a page or in an article or product or whatever.

I use the Gallery module as "Image Manager" at most of my large websites...

Hi,
i`m using a combination of the filereader api and jcrop. So i choose a file, it`s size get`s checked, then a preview image (src file rader) plops out with jCrop Functionality. Then on button press the crop result is saved as jpeg via an ajax call. If you would choose another pic, then the routine would empty the containers and restart (everything without uploading the original file).
