    Overall I think this plugin is just brilliant and have been recommending it to all my colleagues who work with WordPress.

    A couple of notes though.

    In my experience the faces auto-detection rarely works. But that’s ok for my use-case, to me the major benefit for this plugin is the ability to set focal points that the plugin will try to keep in the cropped images, brilliant.

    I would gladly trade the faces detection for a simpler UI, where the user would dismiss the manual hotspots so easily. Happens a lot, even to me that im used to it.

    Thank you so much for making this plugin.

    Fair points and we’ll consider them when we’re next working on this plugin.

    We have a couple of options – we could do a premium version which uses an external face detection system which would be *much* more accurate and reliable. That would feed some revenue in. Some people do seem to like the face detection.

    Maybe a facility to turn off the face detection, but then we want to avoid adding options where possible.

    Thanks for the feedback – always valuable!

    Thank you also for the feedback.
    I can’t praise this plugin enough though. An apparent small addition, but tremendously useful one. Love it, and im spreading the word about whenever I can.

    I was just looking at the code that is being called on the dashboard and I’ve noticed the face detection alone is calling 3 javascript libraries. It’s not a huge thing but then again, im not using face detection because I’ve found it to work only a small percentage of times. The manual selection is what I use, and I thinks it’s awesome.

    Face detection is probably a selling point, I get that, but make thins an options, even that I can checkoff with code, would improve the experience for those like me.

    In my view, it would also alleviate another issue. The interface is often cramped into space, removing the face detection options would simplify and reduce that issue.

    Thanks again.
