## Description

WP Thumb is a simple plugin that seamlessly integrates with the WordPress image 
functions. You can specify height, width and crop values, and an image will be generated,
which is then cached for future use.

#### Features

 * Automatic images resizing, cropping and caching.
 * Ideal for when you want to change the dimensions of default image sizes.
 * Can extend using filters to make use of any of the phpThumb Library functions
   by manipulating the image object.
