by default Alfresco uses ImageMagick to manipulate images for previewing. For example on Share, if you browse the document library of a site, you can see the images thumbnails of your uploaded photos. I understand that you want to manipulate images (such as crop or rotate images and so on) directly into alfresco web explorer. Is that right? I really do not know if you can do it. Let's see if I can help you. First of all make sure you have correctly installed Imagemagick. If you installed Alfresco using one of the installation wizards, ImageMagick is already be installed.
1. Verify if ImageMagick is already installed on your system. You can run the convert command, which is part of ImageMagick and usually located in C:/YOUR_ALFRESCO_HOME/ImageMagick 2. If ImageMagick is not on your system, browse to the ImageMagick download site and install the appropriate package for your platform. 3. Modify the img.root= and img.exe= properties in the alfresco-global.properties file to point to the ImageMagick root directory. For example, for Windows: a. Set the img.root= property to img.root=C:/YOUR_ALFRESCO_HOME/ImageMagick b. Set the img.exe= property to img.exe=C:/YOUR_ALFRESCO_HOME/ImageMagick/bin/convert.exe Alfresco is now configured to manipulate images for previewing. if you want something more try a look here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Using_Alfresco_for_Image_Transformation
