Client Side Conversion of Image Files

Before Upload To Server

[hutber]

So at the moment i get the user to upload the image to the server, then once it is on the server i create a thumbnail for the image. While this is ok its nothing like what i really want.
Idealy i'd like the user select which files they wanted uploaded then on the clients computer convert the image into a smaller version of the same image and then upload it. The main reason for this is the fact that my ISP only offers a 2mb upload and if they wanted to upload a large number of files straight from their camera these files would be 2/3mbs large.

So what i'm asking is if anybody knows of any applets, java anything realy of any real value.

Thanks for your time,

Hi Jamie,

There is no sane way to do this which if true would mean if there even is a way to do this the load of sending simply the amount JavaScript code to the client would probably be greater then having the server handle the image itself! Unless I'm missing some brand new JavaScript feature that IE just won't support any way.
