image-processing
I was just thinking, which is always dangerous.
We use Valums Image uploader.
Aside from that, I am looking for an inline image editor, but with a difference.
User uploads an image ( lets say 800 x 600 ) Our system wants to see the image ( 170 x 32 ) now I know we can use php to resize images.
But I was thinking, does anyone know of a system, where we can display the image, and user can scale, and crop image ( with say a predefined overlay )
By that they scale down to nearest acceptable size, and then click crop tool, which shows a div overlay with say 70% transparency that they can drag over the image, and then click crop. So image is cropped to exact size we need, then can save .
I am sure I have seen some jquery stuff done like this, just cannot for life of me find it.
Essentialy, we would like to offer a simple client side image processor, thats lightweight, and then the ability to save what they did .
Sorry no code to show, as its more of a request.
