Want to Make a JavaScript Photo Editor?

No? Well, maybe you should hear me out. There's this library Phototype which is a client/server-side image processing library that uses PHP (a scripting language) and GD (a graphics processing library). The idea is pretty simple. You send commands to the server asking it to manipulate an image, it does so and sends it back.

But, how is this useful to you as an end user? Perhaps it's not, but you might actually be using it soon if you visit sites with profile images. Just imagine a simple photo to turn your profile picture black and white, or to add Chuck Norris behind you, watching your back. Anyway, the point is, this will make some developers lives a bit easier to do this kind of stuf.
