JCOGS Image Pro - Field

A powerful editor-friendly image field.

JCOGS Image Pro Field extends the ExpressionEngine File field with clear, editor-friendly image adjustment tools in the Channel Entry publish form. It also adds stronger output options, making it easier to build fast, consistent image handling into templates.

Designed for real production teams, the field gives developers full control over which image tools are available, while content editors get a clear interface that helps them choose and prepare better images without dealing with template logic.

Every installation includes a built-in 7-day trial period for unlicensed use, so you can test it against real editorial workflows before purchasing.

JCOGS Image Pro Field is a companion add-on to JCOGS Image Pro, which it relies on for image processing and template output generation. It also provides an easier route into using advanced Image Pro features such as face detection, art direction, and aspect ratio control. If needed, start with the 7-day trial download, then purchase via the EE Store listing when you are ready.

What makes JCOGS Image Pro Field special?

JCOGS Image Pro Field extends the basic ExpressionEngine file field. Instead of being only a file picker, it becomes a structured set of image adjustment tools within the normal image selection flow. Features include:

• Preset selection - Let editors choose an Image Pro preset, restrict choices to an allowlist, or enforce a developer-defined default.
• Crop controls with policy options - Make cropping optional or required to keep framing consistent.
• Aspect ratio enforcement - Offer approved aspect ratios or require a specific ratio for predictable layout output.
• Focal point support - Let editors define image focus so crops and responsive outputs prioritise the right area.
• Face-detect assisted cropping - Use Image Pro face detection to guide portrait-style crop decisions.
• Responsive defaults - Configure field-level srcset and sizes behaviour without repeating template-level logic.
• Art direction - Let editors supply different images per breakpoint while the field outputs a ready-to-use responsive <picture> result.

What does JCOGS Image Pro Field do?

At a high level, Image Pro Field helps you standardise image selection and preparation while keeping frontend templates clean and consistent.

• A better publish experience - Editors choose an image and, where allowed, apply crop, preset, and focal tools in a clear flow.
• Developer-controlled policy - You control which tools are shown, when crops are required, and how presets and aspect ratios are constrained.
• Template-led outputs - Use built-in advanced outputs or compose custom output from clear variables, with templates staying in control.

Why choose JCOGS Image Pro Field?

• Consistent images with less back-and-forth - Clear editor guardrails make it easier to provide the right image first time.
• A workflow teams actually use - Keep the publish form focused while still enabling powerful source image adjustments.
• Flexible per-field rules - Apply different presets, crop policies, and aspect ratios by channel or field.
• Cleaner templates - Rely on field outputs and variables instead of repeating complex tag-level image parameters.
• Grows with your needs - Start simple, then enable responsive defaults and art direction when your team is ready.
• A well-behaved field - Integrates cleanly with native channels, Grid, Fluid, and Bloqs.
