Exercise: Cropping Images
In this exercise we will use the UCD Image Cropping tool to select a region of a IIIF image (and optionally adjust other parameters), and see that the region can be be reused via its URI.
Step 1: Start the Cropping Tool with an image
You can start the tool with any IIIF Image by appending the image identifier to the URL base https://jbhoward-dublin.github.io/IIIF-imageManipulation/index.html?imageID=
Examples include:
- A Map of Seoul in the cropping tool (from Smithsonian)
- An Emroidered Screen with 10 panels in the cropping tool
Step 2: Explore selection of a region
Use the graphic region selection tool and experiment with the other parameters.
Step 3: Use the cropped image
Look at item 4 within the cropping tool:
- Preview the cropped image
- Download the cropped image
- Copy the cropped image URI into another browser tab to see how it could be reused by reference on any web page
