Fixing the way Drupal crops images for thumbnails?

Category: 

  • Question

Hi there,
I've been trying to figure out how I might adjust settings somewhere to cause Drupal to crop images for thumbnails differently than it currently does. Is that something that's possible, and where do I find that setting? Basically, some thumbnails for images on my site are getting cropped at weird points. I know that this is an image library thing, but I don't know if that's a thing that I can actually get at. Thanks!

Have you taken a look at Configuration > Image styles (/admin/config/media/image-styles)?

Done. Is there no way to do this within Drupal for individual images?

The reason you'd want your Drupal Cloud site to do this for you is to apply a consistent transformation across sets of images, right...? You can, for example, create your own image styles and apply them to image fields in different content types.

As far as I know, the site does not have the tools to allow you to manipulate individual images.

That would be the reason why except that a number of students who have submitted photos for publication on our site did so with expansive white space on one side. There didn't seem to be a good solution for cropping those using the tools provided in the image style configuration to get around that... you'd need more precise means of cropping photos. I know this is a feature I've seen in regular Drupal: I'll assume that this is a limitation of MIT Drupal Cloud. Thanks much anyhow.
