In 2004 Allayers.com started offering a free online image editing service named Truecolor. Spinoffs were the MyCanvas, Flowcharter and MyImage projects. A new version of MyCanvas is now available for testing.
Upload a file (jpeg, png, gif) and edit the picture with drag drop features - just like a real photo editor. That was the idea behind Truecolor in 2004. A single PHP file could be downloaded and used at any PHP supporting host with the (default) GD library installed. Where Truecolor was a single PHP script that could be downloaded and used, the MyImage project was adjusted for use at a public website - in fact limiting some of the possibilities.
MyCanvas featured a background image that pictures and text could be dragged around, dropped upon and resized. Flowcharter was based on the same idea but didn't support upload, but did work with shapes that would stick to grid lines.
