Re:Thoughts on Image Processing in JavaScript? by alex_c on Thursday August 30, 2007 @08:35PM (#48523)
My first instinct was "no", but then I remembered this:

I don't know what kind of image processing you want to do, but the demo above definitely pushes the boundaries of what I thought JavaScript can do. I haven't had the time to dig in and learn how it works.

Really simple stuff - moving, resizing, cropping - is trivial to do with JavaScript and server-side with something like ImageMagick.

No matter what, beware of IE6. I've only recently come to truly appreciate how slow and buggy it really is. No idea if IE7 is better. So I'll change my answer to "Maybe, but not in IE".
