Whether you use the feature or not.... is of course up to you. I hope to be able to put a face to your name someday! Thanks to you and everyone who keep the blog conversations going. @Gareth- To keep the site professional we encourage a real picture ‘head shot’ if you decide to use this feature.

Think its quite an American thing to do, in the UK we are more reserved...an avatar maybe. I do need to add my picture though feel a little uncomfortable about it.

Any possibility of open-sourcing this wonderful tool? I think there are several companies who could benefit from this and certainly would give LinkedIn some great marketing in new markets it might not be as involved in yet. Hi, Adam!

We did our best to make it as easy as possible to crop a standard photo to a professional style shot. For example, one secret feature we put in was the default location of the cropping square. The cropping tool defaults to the top of the image for a portrait-style photo, but it defaults to the middle of the image for a landscape-style photo. Just some of the detail we tried to think about for our first photo feature. Hope this helps. Adam Hi Tom,

Could you please tell me which API or tool you are using for the resize and cropping. The UI is fantastic! Thanks. I am looking for a similar feature for a forum I am running. Hi,
