         28 . A method comprising:
 receiving, by one or more processors associated with one or more computing devices, data associated with a digital image;   detecting, by the one or more processors, a user input relating to a selection of a focal point of the digital image;   adjusting, by the one or more processors, the digital image based on the selection to create an adjusted digital image that includes the focal point,
 the digital image being automatically adjusted to fit within a web document without user input other than the user input relating to the selection; and 
   providing, by the one or more processors, the adjusted digital image within the web document.   
     
     
         29 . The method of  claim 28 , where first dimensions of the adjusted digital image correspond to second dimensions of a location in the web document where the digital image is to be displayed. 
     
     
         30 . The method of  claim 29 , where adjusting the digital image includes:
 comparing the first dimensions of the digital image and the second dimensions of the location; and   adjusting the digital image based on:
 comparing the first dimensions and the second dimensions, and 
 the focal point. 
   
     
     
         31 . The method of  claim 29 , where adjusting the digital image includes at least one of:
 centering the focal point in the adjusted digital image,   maintaining the first dimensions,   cropping a width of the digital image based on the second dimensions,   cropping a height of the digital image based on the second dimensions,   scaling the width of the digital image based on the second dimensions, or   scaling the height of the digital image based on the second dimensions.   
     
     
         32 . The method of  claim 28 , where the focal point corresponds to an area of the digital image. 
     
     
         33 . The method of  claim 28 , where the focal point is associated with at least one of:
 a prominent feature of the digital image, or   a center of the digital image.   
     
     
         34 . The method of  claim 28 , further comprising:
 providing, before receiving the user input relating to the selection, a preview version of the digital image within the web document,
 the preview version of the digital image including a center region of the digital image. 
   
     
     
         35 . A system comprising:
 a memory to store data associated with a digital image; and   one or more processors to:
 detect a user input relating to a selection of a focal point of the digital image, 
 adjust the digital image based on the selection to create an adjusted digital image that includes the focal point,
 the digital image being automatically adjusted to fit within a web document without user input other than the user input relating to the selection; and 
 
 store the adjusted digital image in the memory. 
   
     
     
         36 . The system of  claim 35 , where first dimensions of the adjusted digital image correspond to second dimensions of a location in the web document where the digital image is to be displayed. 
     
     
         37 . The system of  claim 36 , where the one or more processors, when adjusting the digital image, are further to:
 compare the first dimensions and the second dimensions to produce comparison results,
 the digital image being adjusted based on the comparison results. 
   
     
     
         38 . The system of  claim 36 , where adjusting the digital image includes at least one of:
 centering the focal point in the adjusted digital image,   maintaining the first dimensions,   cropping a width of the digital image based on the second dimensions,   cropping a height of the digital image based on the second dimensions,   scaling the width of the digital image based on the second dimensions, or   scaling the height of the digital image based on the second dimensions.   
     
     
         39 . The system of  claim 35 , where the focal point corresponds to a point within the digital image. 
     
     
         40 . The system of  claim 35 , where the focal point is associated with at least one of:
 a prominent feature of the digital image, or   a center of the digital image.   
     
     
         41 . The system of  claim 35 , where the one or more processors are further to:
 provide, before receiving the user input relating to the selection, a preview version of the digital image within the web document,
 the preview version of the digital image including a center region of the digital image. 
   
     
     
         42 . A memory device to store instructions, the instructions comprising:
 one or more instructions that, when executed by a processor associated with a computing device, cause the processor to:
 detect a user input relating to a selection of a focal point of a digital image, 
 adjust the digital image based on the selection to create an adjusted digital image that includes the focal point,
 the digital image being automatically adjusted to fit within a web document without user input other than the user input relating to the selection; and 
 
 provide the adjusted digital image within the web document. 
   
     
     
         43 . The memory device of  claim 42 , where first dimensions of the adjusted digital image correspond to second dimensions of a location in the web document where the digital image is to be displayed. 
     
     
         44 . The memory device of  claim 43 , where the one or more instructions to adjust the digital image further include:
 one or more instructions to compare the first dimensions and the second dimensions to produce comparison results,
 the digital image being adjusted based on the comparison results. 
   
     
     
         45 . The memory device of  claim 43 , where the one or more instructions adjusting the digital image include:
 one or more instructions to perform at least one of:
 centering the focal point in the adjusted digital image, 
 maintaining the first dimensions, 
 cropping a width of the digital image based on the second dimensions, 
 cropping a height of the digital image based on the second dimensions, 
 scaling the width of the digital image based on the second dimensions, or 
 scaling the height of the digital image based on the second dimensions. 
   
     
     
         46 . The memory device of  claim 42 , where the focal point is associated with at least one of:
 a prominent feature of the digital image, or   a center of the digital image.   
     
     
         47 . The memory device of  claim 42 , where the instructions further include:
 one or more instructions to provide, before receiving the user input relating to the selection, a preview version of the digital image within the web document,
 the preview version of the digital image including a center region of the digital image.
