Resize Image before upload

[Scott]

We primary upload images and have been using telerik's asp.net ajax's upload control.  I'm interested in using the Silverlight upload.  Ideally, I would like the images to be resized on the client side before uploading.  Similar to how Facebook and other sites are doing it.  Is this possible?

Anyone?

Hi Scott,

There are several open source libraries available for image manipulation in Silverlight.

ImageTools : http://imagetools.codeplex.com/
FJCode :   http://code.google.com/p/fjcore/

We  started using imagetools. It lets you resize and convert images to  formats supported by Silverlight.
(Gif and Bmp are not supported in Silverlight).

Here's a blog post I wrote on how to do this: http://programmerpayback.com/2010/01/21/use-silverlight-to-resize-images-and-increase-compression-before-uploading/
