You can get the source code for my WPF Photo Print utility here and on CodePlex. Some interesting bits are:
- All transformations are applied to Drawing objects. Take a look in the ‘Transformations’ folder and you’ll notice creating new ones is just a case of overriding GetDrawing.
- The crop selection uses an Adorner (based on an MSDN sample) combined with an OpacityMask (see Preview.xaml) and plenty of data binding.
- Although it’s designed for photo printing, the transformations could be applied to any base drawing. Just derive something from Transformable; it should (could) even work for video
- Currently it only prints the results, but it’d be a piece of cake to draw to a RenderTargetBitmap and save to a file (in any DPI you choose).
Hope you find it useful (I’ve already printed plenty of photos with it — it’s great! )

Hi Chris ! Have any idea how to save image in original image resolution ??

Luca – Basically you just need to create (and draw to) a RenderTargetBitmap of the appropriate size. I’ll get a sample / update uploaded as soon as I can (I’ve been meaning to do some tweaks but have been busy / procrastinating
).

tight, I will check out the source.
Just wondering, was this project ported or did you start from scratch?

toddpi314 – It wasn’t a port — I just needed a simple photo crop/rotate utility that didn’t need files importing into a library. WPF made writing this pretty easy
