We are looking for an image editor to work with the imagefield module (http://drupal.org/project/imagefield). It should become available for each imagefield once the node is saved, and should not interefere with the multiple image uploader for imagefield (the http://drupal.org/project/image_fupload).

Would like to have basic functions for brightness, contrast and saturation (if possible), 90 degree rotation, and cropping. Resize ability also nice, but might not be needed since output may be resized by imagecache anyway during actual page display.

Whether you create something from scratch, or know of an existing third party tool that can be easily integrated, we're willing to pay, just let us know which road you have in mind.

Timeline still uncertain, as for budget, let us know what you anticipate it will cost to develop. We don't want to discourage anyone from expressing interest in the project because we either guessed too low (cheapskates!) or too high (and scared you away because you think we want to recreate flickr, which we don't :P )

Something like this would be just fine to use - http://www.ajax-image-editor.com/

I installed the demo on a local test site, seems to work pretty well. In the test file it looks like there's some javascript and an onclick event on a link to call the editor. Right now my thinking is would just need a link added to the display of each image field in edit mode that adds this onclick event and specifies the path of the image. 

<script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript">
function showimageeditor( bild ) {
	LeftPosition = ( screen.width ) ? ( screen.width - 660 ) / 2 : 0;
	TopPosition = ( screen.height ) ? ( screen.height - 700 ) / 2 : 0;
	settings = 'height=700, width=660, top=' + TopPosition + ', left=' + LeftPosition + ', scrollbars=no, resizable=no, menubar=no, dependent=yes, status=no, toolbar=no'
	win = window.open( "aie/imageeditor.php?img=" + encodeURIComponent(bild), "imageeditorwin", settings )

}

function imagesaved(){
  window.location.reload();
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<a href="#" onclick="showimageeditor('images/album/Tree.jpg')" ><img src="images/album/Tree.jpg" /></a>

if this could be done and released as a module, i am sure a lot of people would be very happy.

Actually, as kind of a proof of concept, I added the js to my testbed page tpl, made a very simple modification to the imagefield module to display that link to the image editor on the thumbnails, and it pulls the editor right up just fine in the edit page mode.

I wasn't expecting it to be that simple. Seems like if someone were to make a module out of it, it would be pretty easy to do, although would be nice to have some actual extra UI for it instead of just making the preview thumbnails a link.

function theme_imagefield_admin_thumbnail($item = NULL) {
  if (is_null($item) || empty($item['filepath'])) {
    return '<!-- link to default admin thumb -->';
  }
  $thumb_path = imagefield_file_admin_thumb_path($item);
  return '<a href="/drupal6/'.$item['filepath'].'"><img src="'. file_create_url($thumb_path) .'" /></a>';
}

The js, the extra link being displayed in the preview, and installing the AIE editor to your root drupal installation (the files folder where you store your images has to be relative, so you can't install AIE multiple folders deep in your drupal install) is all that's really needed. Plus you obviously have to have imagemagick on your server, but seems like most do anyway.

Would love to see someone make a proper module out of it tho :)

Since this is probably no longer the place for this thread, I am trying to move discussion to this thread in the imagefield area - http://drupal.org/node/442800

Has anyone used the Netlog image editor?

It is one of the best around, and easy to use, whereas this open source one would require a lot of tweaking.

If someone was about to make a new module using this image editor, it really would be brilliant.

You can now use the Image Editor module - http://drupal.org/project/imageeditor :)
