Additional options include `CR` and `BW`. `CR` tells the API to crop the photo to be exactly _width_ by _height_. It does a center crop and minimizes the portion of the photo that is cropped. `BW` applies a greyscale filter to the photo. `100x100xCRxBW` means the photo will have a key of `path100x100xCRxBW` and will be exactly _100_ by _100_, cropped and greyscale.

We'll be working to make that easier by partnering with sites like dotCloud and providing ready to use AMIs for AWS or Rackspace.

Open Photo API / Photo Upload
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
#### OpenPhoto, a photo service for the masses
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
### Understanding the `returnSizes` parameter and how to use it
|
||||
For the [GET /photo/view.json][GetPhoto] [GET /photos/list.json][GetPhotos] you can pass in an optional `returnSizes` parameter.
|
||||
If you need a path to a photo then you'll want to make sure you pass this parameter in else your response won't contain any URLs.
|
||||
|
||||
We also have a more detailed look at how [photos are generated][photogeneration].
|
||||
|
||||
### Specifying the width and height of photos you want
|
||||
The first decision you need to make is the size or sizes of photos you want in the response.
|
||||
You'll specify this as the initial part of the `returnSizes` parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want a single size for the photo of width `W` and height `H` then you will want to use the following.
|
||||
|
||||
returnSizes=WxH
|
||||
|
||||
If you want multiple sizes for the photo of widths `W1` and `W2` and heights `H1` and `H2` then use the following.
|
||||
|
||||
returnSizes=W1xH1,W2xH2
|
||||
|
||||
#### Maintaining aspect ratio and cropping
|
||||
By default the aspect ratio of every photo is maintained.
|
||||
That means if you request a `200x200` version of a photo that's originally `800x600` then the resulting image will be _200px_ wide and _150px_ tall.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you want the same photo to be exactly _200px_ by _200px_ then you can add an optional value to `returnSizes`.
|
||||
|
||||
returnSizes=200x200xCR
|
||||
|
||||
Adding `xCR` means that the photo will be exactly _200px_ by _200px_ and cropped from the center retaining as much of the photo as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
### Accessing the paths in the response
|
||||
The name of the URL attribute in the response is, by convention, `pathWxH` where `WxH` is the value passed in to returnSizes.
