1. TODO: Adjust this README to the new project. Right now it demands a lot of packages, in the future we intend to reduce them to a minimum.

py-clean-image-crop-uploader (pyCICU) ================================ .. image::

:target: .. image:: :target: .. image:: :target:

pycicu is a tool to upload an image via Ajax and crop it using Jcrop. It provides a simple workflow: first one, using modal, (by twitter bootstrap) the image can be uploaded and cropped. Second one, you can see the image cropping preview in the form and finally submit the result.

pycicu is perfect when you have to upload images and it's necessary to have a specific portion of image. It'll be easy to configure and to use. You can use different configurations, with fixed aspect ratio or minimal image size.

It works with jQuery = 1.8.3 and twitter bootstrap.
