Image editor component in Flex / JavaScript

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a simple Flex or JavaScript based image editing component which can be embedded in a web application. It shouldn't be a web service but rather a component that I can download and customize (i18n etc.).

I only need some basic features: most important is cropping, optional features would be rotating and adjusting brightness/contrast.

Basically something like splashup.com, but as an open source application rather than a web-service.

Thanks a lot in advance for any hints!

Answer 1

There is pixastic.

Pixastic is a JavaScript library which allows you to perform a variety of operations, filters and fancy effects on images using just a bit of JavaScript.

Be sure to read the documentation to make sure the operations you are looking to perform are supported by all browsers. There are some issues with IE.

They have a editor you can try. It shows off some of the features.

Answer 2

Your question suggests you want an out of the box solution, or at least a base to stand on.

Quick Google search reveals editImage. This doesn't look polished or bug free, however building on this or rolling your own should not be difficult.

Here is a good article on Image Manipulation in Flex. Towards the end of it read "Cropping, Panning and Zooming", your basically looking at 5 lines of code. I think you might even be happier building this yourself.

Thanks for your answers!

I ended up customizing and extending this component:
