Is there a way to create and manipulate an image file in an app?

[WoodnMetalGuy]

My wife creates scrapbooks and includes many of the photos I take as part of that.  It's easy to print a photo in the standard 4x6 inch format.  However, she often wants a variety of smaller image sizes. 

In a previous version of IMatch I wrote a script that would take a list of files and combine either 2 or 4 images on a 4x6 print.  The script would create a new image in memory, then resize / rotate / overlay the source files on the new image to make the best use of the space, and then would write out a jpg file to be printed.  There also used to be a way to set specific pixels on,  and the script would use that to draw lines a specified distance from the edge of the image so I could see how much was getting trimmed off when the photo lab printed the files.

I've looked through all the documentation on the new way of writing apps, and I can't find anything that looks like it would implement creating a new image file in memory and allow manipulating that data as described above.  Am I just not finding the information I need, or is this functionality no longer possible?

Thanks for any pointers.  -- Dave

Have you used Design & Print? It should do everything you want and more.

IMWS implements no functions for manipulating image files (yet).
HTML5 and Canvas allow you to create and manipulate images, but I have not much experience with that (yet).

For some ideas, start here here: http://camanjs.com/examples/


But before I would go into all this, I would use IMatch's built-in Design & Print. This has been designed to do everything you explain above, and a lot more.

Thanks for the responses.  I will look further into the Design & Print functionality and post again if I have problems.  -- Dave

I can stress this: Design & Print is cool, we can do a lot with it.
