This document discusses image transformations in Plone 4.1. It describes existing packages for cropping images, scaling images, and applying filters. It notes some drawbacks of current solutions and introduces the archetypes.clippingimage package for defining a ClippingImageField and patching the Archetypes ImageField scale method to support cropping. It proposes registering image transforms like crop, grayscale as named adapters and connecting scale names to dimensions and transform chains. It invites interested parties to contribute ideas and participate in an open space session or remote sprint to further develop image handling in Plone.
