I created a simple example for using Smartcrop.js just to see how it works. In my example, you can have images directly placed into the html or pulled in from a JSON object.
It’s a nice little JS plugin, but unfortunately it only works on local images. If you want to use a remote image, you can always download it locally for processing using javascript.
