Have you ever grown frustrated at the lack of easy, on-the-fly cropping and image manipulation options in Wordpress when authoring a post or a page? Wordpress' built-in tools are okay for simple pages, but when you need to get highly specific with pixels, crops, etc, Wordpress' tools just make things harder...rather than easier.
This is a TimThumb shortcode for Wordpress. It's been tested and confirmed working up to Wordpress 3.6.1.
All you need to do is copy the PHP code into your theme's functions.php file and you're good to go! Optionally, you may simply upload the PHP file via FTP or checkout this repo via Git and include the file into your functions.php file.
I hope this has helped somebody out there and that it has been found useful!
Note:
If any of you are able to test on higher versions and report back that it's working, that would be great. A split in priorities has had me preoccupied lately on other projects.
