The latest version of MediaFiler (build 435) provides two great new features: Enhanced image cropping and Background image option.
Enhanced image cropping
With this enhanced feature it’s easy to crop images.
Need to crop for a print, PowerPoint, web or widescreen presentation, then simply select the desired crop ratio. MediaFiler offers, for example, 1: 1 (square), 16: 9 (widescreen), 3: 2, say a 15×10, print. Naturally we also offer a free crop.
Whilst setting cropping on the original image you can see the end result in the preview pane.
Once satisfied with the result, you now have additional options such as crop and download – you even get to select a download size – or save the cropped image back into an archive of your choice within your MediaFiler digital media library. This ensures that editors can present the images exactly as they wish them to be seen.
These enhanced options in our cropping tool had been requested by a number of our publishing and picture agency clients. The extra workflow features after cropping, is an additional benefit.
Because the final part is a customizable workflow, every client can design the crop output to suit their particular needs, some may just want two or three set sizes, others ten with some automatically sent by ftp. That is the power of MediaFiler. Instantly customizable just for you.

Background image option
Goodbye boring, plain backgrounds!
Yes we admit we did concentrate on speed, reliability and ease of use but now we’re delighted to offer a few extras! From now on you can place your best – or representative – pictures as the background on the homepage of your photo library. Opt for a single image or set up a selection of alternating background images. Clients with public facing archives will love this new feature.
Let us know if you want to enhance your home page!
Below are some examples of our client’s picture libraries that are already using homepage background images.
