Issue

  • A web content structure can include an Image or a Documents and Media field. 
  • When editing such a web content you can upload a new image for that field. 
  • Is it possible to edit (crop, apply a filter, etc) the image when uploading it?

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.2, 7.3, 7.4

Resolution

  • This is possible out-of-the box with Liferay 7.3+.
    • Right after uploading the image from your local file system, there is a pencil icon that can be used to edit the image.
  • For Liferay 7.2 it's not possible to directly edit the image.
    • Workaround: After uploading the image the first time, try selecting a new image for the web content field but this time select the first uploaded image. Now there will be a pencil icon to edit the image.
