Scissors enhances WordPress' handling of images by introducing cropping, resizing, rotating, and watermarking functionality.

== Description ==

This plugin adds cropping, resizing, and rotating functionality to Wordpress' image upload and management dialogs. Scissors also allows automatic resizing of images when they are uploaded and supports automatic and manual watermarking of images. Additionally, images that are resized in the post editor are automatically resampled to the requested size using bilinear filtering when a post is saved, which improves the perceived image quality while reducing the amount of data transferred at the same time.

When the first version of Scissors was published in October 2008 it was available only in English and German. Since then translations into new languages have been contributed by the following kind individuals. Thank you for your time and initiative.

If you have translated the plugin into another language and wish to see the corresponding language files bundled with Scissors, feel free to contact me at [stephan.reiter@gmail.com](mailto:stephan.reiter@gmail.com). Also, if you would like to contribute to Scissors' code base by implementing a new feature or by fixing a bug, feel free to send me patches for the code. I'd like to explicitly mention Samuel Aguilera, who was the first to supply a series of code enhancements. Thanks a lot for your help! That's the open source spirit.

== Installation ==

Scissors is available in the official plugin repository and can be installed directly from the WordPress administration interface. If you wish, however, to make a manual installation, follow these steps:

1. Extract the contents of the Scissors zip-archive you downloaded.
1. Upload the extracted `scissors` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
1. Activate the plugin in the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
1. Configure the plugin in WordPress' media settings.

Automatic resizing of the full-size image at upload-time can be configured in WordPress' media settings. You can specify a maximum width and a maximum height in pixels for this to take effect (a width/height of 0 disables image resizing in that particular dimension).

Watermarking can also be configured and enabled in WordPress' media settings: Supply an image that you want to be embedded into newly uploaded images, specify its alignment, size, and margin, and you're all set!
