+# ILAB Media Tools
+
+ILAB Media Tools are a suite of tools designed to enhance media handling in WordPress in a number of ways.
+
+##### Image Cropping
+ILAB Media Tools ships with the most advanced image cropping tool 
+available for WordPress, based on Chen Fengyuan's amazing Cropper 
+plugin for jQuery.
+
+##### Upload to S3
+Automatically copy media uploads to S3 and hosts your media directly 
+from S3 or CloudFront.  Additionally, easily import your existing
+media library to Amazon S3 with the push of a button.
+
+##### Integrate with Imgix
+[Imgix](https://imgix.com) will radically change the way that you build
+your WordPress sites and themes.  This plugin is the best integration
+available for WordPress.  Upload your images to S3 with our S3 tool
+and then host the media with Imgix, providing you with real-time image
+processing and automatic format delivery.  Forget ImageMagick, Imgix
+is light years ahead in quality and speed.
+
+##### Advanced Image Editing
+When integrating with [Imgix](https://imgix.com), ILAB Media Tools provides the most 
+advanced WordPress image editor.  Alter contrast, saturation, vibrancy
+and over 30 other image editing operations - in real time right inside
+the WordPress admin interface!  Completely non-destructive!
+
+**Best of all you get this functionality for free.**
+
+* Advanced image cropping tool
+* Upload to S3
+* Host media from S3 or any CDN that can connect to S3
+* Integrate with Imgix media hosting
+* Advanced image editing with saturation, contrast, auto-correct, 
+  sharpen, blur and more (only when integrated with Imgix)
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/ilab-media-tools` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
+2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress
+3. Enable the tools you want through the *ILab Media Tools -> Tools* settings page.
+4. For S3, enter your AWS credentials in the *ILab Media Tools -> S3* Settings* page.
+5. For Imgix, enter your Imgix settings in the *ILab Media Tools -> Imgix Settings* page.
+6. Once your settings are complete, use the *ILab Media Tools -> S3 Importer* to import your current media library to
+   Amazon S3.
+
+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+##### How does this compare to WP Offload S3?
+
+This essentially does everything that WP Offload S3 does but is free.  It includes an import function for importing
+your current library to S3 that only the pro version of WP Offload S3 has.  Otherwise, they work almost exactly the
+same.
+
+##### Why should I use Imgix?
+
+One of the headaches of managing a WordPress site is dealing with server disk space.  If you just use the S3
+functionality of this plugin, you are already one step ahead.  Using S3, all of your media is centrally located in
+one place that you can then distribute through a high performing content delivery network to improve page load speeds
+for your site.  You also don't have to worry about disk space on your servers anymore.
+
+Imgix is a content delivery network with a twist.  In addition to distributing your media, it also allows you to edit
+them, in real-time. and deliver the edited version through their CDN without altering the original.  Want to add a new
+image size to your theme?  You can do this with Imgix without having to use a plugin to recut all of your existing
+media to this new size.  Imgix optimizes format delivery and a bunch of other things.  It's seriously the greatest
+thing to happen to WordPress and web development in the history of ever.
+
+##### Are you a paid shill for Imgix?
+
+No, I'm just one very enthusiastic customer.
