Hiya, I'm not sure if this is the correct heading to post this question but here we go; I am VERY new to website building, but have a good knowledge base in 3d max / autocad / photoshop. I was wondering if it would be possible to build a website to achieve the following: Would it be possible for registered users of a website to upload a series of images [say 6] and then once they are uploaded, is it possible for that person [who uploaded the images] to manipulate their position on screen. I do not want to use flash if at all possible. Additionally, would it be possible, once the pictures are uploaded to somehow automatically skew the picture similar to the skew in photoshop [edit - transform - skew] i know these are probably pretty strange and diffiucult things to do, I just want to know if they might be possible to achieve somehow, and maybe roughly how - would I need some sort of progremmed routine in my website to do this? Sorry if these seem like daft questions - Thanks very much!!! Q.
as an open-source fanboy I'm right there with you with the desire to do it in open-standard Javascript code that requires no plugin. Would work natively on all operating systems, and on mobile devices which might not have Flash on them. *but* this is one case where I can see a clear advantage to Flash as well. Although flash requires a free (but not opensource) plugin to be installed, you are absolutely guaranteed that it will run the same on Mac, Linux and windows, where Javascript support might be different between browsers, and between operating systems. Either way, this is tricky to do, I would google and see if you can find some free or open-source scripts that do image editing online. You may find a free solution that works out of the box, you will likely find a free solution that will need a little modification (either you or a programmer). To hire somebody to do this would likely cost a lot, but is possible. I know for a fact that there are free scripts out there that do this well, I just regret that I can't remember them right now. Good luck, if I remember anything I'll certainly post it here.
