O’Reilly: Inside RIA

It seems that the number one request I get for development work is creating applications that do image manipulation or vector drawing or a combination of the two. This article is about my experiences in building applications in Flex to manipulate images. It will cover the basics of loading an image, saving a reference to it, adjusting color, applying pixel effects, changing its dimensions and orientation and ultimately saving these changes. The aim of this article is not to provide production ready solutions but instead to provide ideas for implementing image manipulation solutions in Flex.
