serverside image editing
Hi All,
Im looking for some kind of application, im assuming it will need to be java based or make use of netbpm - where I can add a bit of code into a gallery and it will allow users to edit images with overlays, say for example add borders to images, put hats and moustache's on people and things like that. then allow them to save it - does such a thing exist?
Thanx in advance!

if when you say put hats etc on them, your meaning from a list of images not drawn on the fly, then you can use any of the serverside imaging tools, PHP GD, Imagemagick etc or I suppose Java or DHTML but these are usually slower.
when you say "add a bit of code into a gallery" do you mean Gallery the program or gallery as in general, Gallery the program has built in GD and ImageMavick and even NetbPm support I believe. but requires safe mode off and your host may have to enable the image support or you upload the library code

I had the impression that he wanted something like Mr. Potato Head. Where you can drag & drop pieces of [ears|nose|mustache|eyes|eyebrows|chins|etc] onto a photo and save the result.
In which case, I'd suggest looking for Flash prefabs. I don't know how to use them, or if they are available in the public domain. But I have played with some finished products done in flash.

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.

yeah I was thinkin of some kind of menu along the side where people select an "overlay image" and they drag it into position then save the result.
My current gallery makes use of netbpm and is heavily based on templates, so adding this kind of thing shouldnt be too dificult.
