    initial v1  
    11I really, really like the idea of adding an optional description to the featured image module. Right now the outcome can be a bit surprising. Plus, it would definitely be needed if/when we have multiple feature images.

    3 It'd also be nice to add an optional step for user-cropping -- similar to the custom header cropping -- when uploading featured images. It would take all of the surprise out of theme-enforced cropping. As a bonus, it would be incredibly useful for themers wanting to use 1 featured image with different sized thumbnails in different places. You could have the option of cropping a thumbnail for each image size the theme was adding. RIght now users would have to be master photo composers to make that something like that work effectively with an image.

    55@walid3 It could mean a lot of options to accommodate every possible header layout with just the custom header feature. It's really only meant for uploading images at one size. If you post a screenshot [http://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates in the support forums] and let me know about it I'll see if I can help you out with just some custom CSS (ignoring or hiding the custom header) that accomplishes what you're looking for.
