PHP Image Editor - Review my webapp for editing images

Post by WebDevelopment »

Review my PHP Image Editor at:
http://www.phpimageeditor.se/

I have developed a webapplication that makes it possible to edit images directly on your website.
PHP Image Editor is supposed to be added to your own website then it´s should be possible for all your logged in users to edit images.
PHP Image Editor receives an image by a parameter in the http url. Then a temporarely image is created that´s possible to edit, when "Save and Close" is pressed the original image is overwritten.
Then you can send in any image you want to (that has read/write permissions).

To make the installation easy, I have developed PHP Image Editor as a plugin for Joomla (a content management system).
http://www.joomla.org/
http://www.phpimageeditor.se/joomla.php
In the future I wan´t to make it as a plugin for other CMS like Drupal.

These are the questions that I wan´t have feedback on:
  • Should I add more functions to PHP Image Editor, which?
  • Are there any unnecessary funtions in PHP Image Editor today?
  • Is the graphical interface user friendly?
I don´t want any critic on html/css/webstandards.
I just wan´t to know how I should develop PHP Image Editor from an ordinary user point of view.

Here are some of the features today:
  • Support for PNG, GIF and JPEG images.
  • Image resizing.
  • Image cropping.
  • Image effects like grayscale and contrast.
  • Image rotating.
  • Language support, possible to add your own language file.

In features you say: "Resize an image by drag and drop", but there isn't any drag & drop, only input boxes, same goes for croping. Using FF3
Color balance tool would be great.

Sorry, no review, but I did notice the resizing in your example, http://www.phpimageeditor.se/phpimageed ... sample.jpg, creates a "An unexpected error has occured, please try again..." error.

Kaszu, are you sure?
The resize cursor will only appear when the cursor is on the right or bottom side of the image.

John Cartwright, that´s not good.
Which browser are you using?
How fast is your internet connection?
Can you try it again?, maybe they where many users at the same time...
