 * 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.
