Can anyone impliment this to work with G2 as a module? I think this is a very important feature. See this link: I actually own this software. I bought it a few months ago but have NO IDEA how to integrate it. It works with PHP, ASP, .NET Please let me know and I will provide you with the source files to play with. Jeff |

it's obviously not a free (as in beer and speech) product. we can't create an official g2 module that includes this software.
and it doesn't make much sense to invest our time in a module that has an external dependency on a product that costs $1500.
well, maybe it would make sense if they were the market leader and dozens / hundreds of users would request a g2 module for it. but it's not like that.
we can give you some hints how it could be done.
and you can ask in the services forum if someone would create such a module for money.
on a related note: we plan to add something similar to g2 at some point (an online image editing applet/flash thing that goes beyond what we already have (cropping, resizing, flipping, rotating)). but it may take a year or more.

I see nothing about the OnlineImageEditor working with PHP http://www.aurigma.com/Products/OnlineImageEditor/SystemRequirements.aspx
Are you actually thinking/talking about the ImageUploader?

Thanks for the comments. I am realizing that G2 is by far, not a production level system. It couldn't be used for anything more than sharing images and videos. It's not about the money to me. I just need a product that does what I need it to do.
Thanks for your help.

heh. of course G2 doesn't fit all needs. e.g. you were looking for a online foto management solution with various image editing functions.
which can easily be added to g2, but one needs binaries, an applet or a flash application to do the actual editing.
production level system is a fuzzy term. maybe it doesn't meet your requirements, but it's professional and "on a production level" for other uses.

G2 is already in use at one very large "production level system" called care2 with close to (or over?) 1 million images and I would guess at something above 5,000 users. G2 is probably more of a "production level system" than most other image hosting systems, but its entire *goal* is "sharing" images and videos. What are you looking for? A web based version of photoshop?

All I am looking for is the ability to let a customer or user go to a single image, click "edit" and turn the image to sepia or black and white, crop it the way tey want it, and have an option to save it as a copy so the original image is not hindered. I actually know that Imagemagick can do all of this and much more. I actually put in a formal request for it but there seems to be no takers yet. I also can't wait a year for a new module. Believe me, if I had the time I would certainly try to work on a new module myself. I am very interested in learning the ins and outs of G2.
Thanks for the feedback.

I'm confused, do you want someone to create a module based on the software you *own* (did you buy the rights to the software, or just buy a copy of the software?)? Or do you want someone to create a module with some advanced editing functionality?
I think the idea of a slightly more advanced editing module is a great one, some simple functions like red-eye reduction, contrast, brightness and other neat tools. It would be... slow and akward imho, but it could be useful to some.
If you have some commercial interest in it, you might consider paying someone to write the module, offering a reward or some other enticement. You could even pay for a module that depends on the software you own and technically "sell" it, though I am not sure how big your market would be.

I really want to see this done with imagemagick. I actually purchaed a "one domain" license of Aurigma's OIE when it was $99. They only recently hiked the price. I would NOT like to utilize that program, only as a last resort. I had asked around for someone to create a new module using Imagemagick but there seemed to be no takers. I am willing to pay what it is worth if a developer wants to bite.

Hello,
I'm new on this forum, maybe this link could be interesting
image manager (follow the link and download ImageManager.zip), this is a plugin written in php wich allow to do some basic image manipulations such as, cropping, rotation, flip, and scaling.
Extra info

try to test it on the demo pages. didn't work. there were no test images and the upload didn't work.
in short:
it seems to be a fckeditor addon.
but i couldn't find a list of features.

OK, the site seems to be down, here is the way I implemented it for a project (you can make some tests if you wish, I have duplicate this part for testing purposes) :
image manager demo and click on the third icons below the thumbnail image is should open a new window where you can resize, crop ...
BTW it should not be too difficult to integrate it to gallery2.

quite nice.
it still has no advanced image editing features, but the crop/resize stuff is done nicely.

Valiant, would you recommend Imagemagick for advanced image editing?
Posts: 24
I am probably not as experimented as Valiant ;-) but for what it worths I will recommend Imagemagick for advanced image editing, you can do nearly anything you want with this great tool. But you will still need a web interface between gallery2 and Imagemagick because Imagemagick is a command line tool. Try to search google for web interface using Imagemagick, I'm sure there are plenty of them (Here is another one).
For info you can configure Imagemanager to use either IM, GD or netPBM.
---
/*
Possible values: 'GD', 'IM', or 'NetPBM'
The image manipulation library to use, either GD or ImageMagick or NetPBM.
If you have safe mode ON, or don't have the binaries to other packages,
your choice is 'GD' only. Other packages require Safe Mode to be off.
*/
define('IMAGE_CLASS', 'IM');

from imagemagick.org:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php
looks quite powerful. so we don't even need gimp
yep, seems like we could do a quite powerful image manipulation module for g2 based on imagemagick.
now we only need someone with time to code it ;)

im using image magick outside of gallery.
i read this thread but didnt find anything that might help out. Perhaps i overlooked something.
any solutions to either manually, or automatically apply settings to photos?
specifically red eye reduction.

You might have better luck on the ImageMagick User mailing list http://www.imagemagick.org/script/mailing-list.php
Your question in these forums would be similar to: "I use <name any image editor> outside of Gallery, how do I perform such and such task?" I'm not trying to criticize, just trying to point you in a direction where you might get a bit more help.
