Advanced image editing

I put this topic in the php lib section as there is no x-scripting forum

Hello there,

I want to make dynamic manipulations of images. I require to do advanced things such as "correct white balance", "distort perspective" and use of "clone tool", and many other features present in photoshop.

GD and ImageMagick (as far as I can tell) only support line drawing and text, and not these advanced features.

Are there any libs for any languages that does this? Client or server side doesnt matter.

Thanks.

Kind regards,
Marius

ImageMagick has some pretty powerful tools for image correction and enhancement. Check out the options of the 'convert' command, over at imagemagick.org. You can do most of what you mentioned directly, except the clone tool. For that, I think you'd have to write your own code to extract the image data to create a mask for copying, filtering, etc. But that's all beyond my experience.
