Image Enhanced Scaling is dead – long live ImageMagick Advanced Options! Yes, the Long Module Names Movement is back with longer names than ever before!

As of Octover 10, Image module comes with a new contributed module: ImageMagick Advanced Options. This is good news for anyone who needs fine-grained control over their images in Drupal, such as photographers or managers of image archives – regardless of wheter they use Image module or not. This post describes how it came into existence and why you should use it.

Hey people
ive just posted a wishlist for the image in core, that walkah were talking bout at the drupalcon barcelona.

Dear Walkah - the wishlist for images in core
original post http://morten.dk/node/174/

Much like the event module, the image module has slowly gained a reputation as a crap module. I've been working for the last few months to turn that around, first working my way through the the issue queue closing a couple hundred issues, then by trying to fix bugs and implement some of the many, repeated calls for features (like being able to have images opened in a new window). If you're curious, you can read through the release notes to see what I've been up to.

Hi,

I am new to Drupal but I am jumping in with both feet. Right now I am setting up 3 Drupal sites for
my department at Boston University.

I like Drupal's clean adminstration interface but I am having some trouble getting
the hang of adding images in content. This is what the users of this site will want to do.
Create pages or stories, and be able to include pictures with thier text.

I was having problems with absolute/non-absolute URL's but I got this fixed. I can now
upload an image or attachment and have it appear with a non-broken link.

Howdy,

looks like one of the most wanted features of Conent Construction Kit (CCK) are teasers (short presentation text of nodes with eventually a picture, showing on the front page).

Urging this feature as many others for couple of my websites, I digged Drupal.org a bit looking for a solution. Unfortunately, teaser functionality seems still on it's first steps and many different approaches can be found (i write below the interesting Drupal.org nodes i found).

QUESTION: i would be interested in hiring / co-sponsoring a programmer to develop teaser functionality for CCK. Can any expert Drupal coder give a hint on what approach is more reliable/correct/better, so to take the right path and spend well any effort?
