I believe a majority of the image processing is done on the server
but it depends on the circumstance. In most cases (not all though),
doing image processing in AS is not the best design choice.
Some transformations may be done in AS, but it would not make sense
in the general case to do so. Especially with complex transformations
that may require per-pixel operations - AS is exceedingly slow at that.
In my experience it's faster to push a quick image transformation
matrix or color matrix (or other image edit) to the server and have
GDI++, ImageMagik, PIL or one of the many imaging libraries make the
modification and send back a proxy.

Hi all,
Picnik.com has all these photo effects and I was wondering how are
they doing it. Is it built in actionscript as functions?
Are they using third party components?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
PS. Anyone looking to work on this please contact me.
Thank you,
