Hi

The images we need to produce via our web page are to be printed on round objects. Therefore we need to provide our users with an easy way of aligning and cropping their uploaded images.

Basically I would like to use an elliptical marquee to designate the target crop area.

The actual crop would be rectangular but the elliptical marquee would define the height and width of the rectangle.

Is all this achievable using Graphics Mill? Are there any examples?

Thanks

JG

Hello,

The basic idea how to apply "ellipse" crop to the image is the following:
  1. Apply rectangular crop.
  2. Add ellipse mask to cropped image.
Here is small sample illustrating this approach:
Code:

// Crop rectangle
System.Drawing.Rectangle cropRect = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(300, 0, 500, 300);

// Source bitmap
Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap bmp = new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap(@"D:\temp\source.jpg");

// Apply rectangular crop
bmp.Transforms.Crop(cropRect);

// Create ellipse mask and add it to the cropped bitmap
using (Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap alpha = new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap(cropRect.Width, 
  cropRect.Height, Aurigma.GraphicsMill.PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb))
{
    // Draw ellipse on the mask
    using (System.Drawing.Graphics gr = alpha.GetGdiplusGraphics())
    {
        gr.SmoothingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
        gr.FillEllipse(new System.Drawing.SolidBrush(System.Drawing.Color.White), 
          new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0, 0, cropRect.Width, cropRect.Height));
    }
    alpha.ColorManagement.Convert(Aurigma.GraphicsMill.PixelFormat.Format8bppGrayScale);

    // Add the mask to cropeed bitmap
    bmp.Channels.AddAlpha(1.0f);
    bmp.Channels[bmp.Channels.AlphaChannelIndex] = alpha;
}

// Save the result
bmp.Save(@"d:\temp\EllipseCrop.png");
Sincerely yours,
Dmitry Sevostyanov

Alternatively, you can use clipping path via the Graphics.ClippingPaths property.
