fix it?

8. How do we get there?

9. What do we have?

10. How do I
upload my
f()#@)@*
picture?!

11. image_attach
img_assist
image.module
image.imagemagick.inc imagefield
image.inc
imagecache
upload_image.module
upload.module
acidfree

12. I just want one f#(@*# image module!

13. toolkits
• unclear to users that they are available
• no way to tell where to get them
• awkward to install

14. image.inc - image api
• Too sparse
• Toolkits are clumsy
• Anyone even know it’s there?

15. image.module

16. image.module
• “Image as nodes”
• No CCK support
• No per-type resizing

17. imagecache
• “non optimal” interface
• “fragile”

18. imagefield
• Effectively requires imagecache
• Not as “easy” as image module
• Otherwise pretty cool, I guess

19. What do we want?

20. OMFG, uploading pictures in Drupal
is easier than wordpress!

21. <steef> OMFG, walkah, image
manipulation in drupal does
*everything* I’ve ever
wanted!

22. what do I want?

23. galleries, croppers, etc
image cck field type
image upload form widget
transformation rule building
image api
toolkits

24. clear and simple

25. end users

26. site builders

27. developers

28. to never ever EVER
