[Sigia-l] Javatoolkit for image processing

[Will Parker]

Have you considered server-side manipulation using Java or PHP, with  
an Ajax interface client-side to reduce page reloads?

On the server side, the ImageMagick suite (see http:// 
www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-tools.php) appears to quite  
popular, possibly because it's both powerful (per the online  
tutorials) and open source. Since it offers low-level graphics  
functions, rather than a pre-packaged app, you'll need a dev to  
string together your own customer-facing commands.

Haven't used it myself, so Caveat Emptor.
