hi
i am developing a jewellery's website and one of my requirement is 'try before buy' .i.e. the user can upload his/her image after selecting an item. And we have to provide a customized image (which should output how she will look after wearing it).Can anyone help me?
thank you... in advance :D

There are three options for this:

1. Use PHP and GD to create a new image. It's very flexible as an approach but given that the user might upload an image that isn't ideal (eg their head might be in the wrong place) I don't think I'd use it.

2. Use Flash. Great if you have access to it, but it's pretty complicated.

3. Use Javascript with dragable layers. It's free which helps, and it's not that hard to do either, especially with a library like JQuery.

I suggest you do some research on each on to find out which best suits your needs (and skills).
