I think that's accurate. Some of the simpler operations are able to
be done in Flash because of the color matrix filter.
You might be right about final processing (compiling) of the final
image, but possibly giving the user a preview of how the image will
look without going back and forth to the server for processing.
It does depend on usage. For high resolution photo editing - and
relatively accurate color work, it's best to do that outside of AS.
Things like a 'filmic' sepia conversion isn't possible with a simple
transformation that Flash can handle (not without per-pixel
operations that is).
That said, with Hydra and the new advancements Adobe is making to get
Photoshop online marketable, I think we'll be seeing some pretty nice
capabilities in the Player in the near future.
good luck on your project if you're heading down that road. :)
