The HTML5 canvas element makes so many things possible: animation, graphing and data visualisation, gaming, and much more. One thing it makes possible is the creation and manipulation of images. And when I say manipulation, I mean true pixel-level manipulation. In this Premium tutorial and companion screencast, we’ll build a basic image manipulator implemented using the canvas element.

    The demo doesn’t work with Chrome 9.

    Opera’s layout engine is Presto not Webkit. Please fix the written version.

      There is nothing to fix, I said ‘you need to use a Webkit-based browser such as Safari or Chrome, or Opera’ not ‘you need to use a Webkit-based browser such as Safari, Chrome or Opera’

        Hey leave it if you want, but it is misleading. Also, it fails to work in Chrome 9. I’ve only witnessed Safari run it properly without a web server.

    Great tut! Glad I have premium for once! xD

    I’m assuming there’s no pragmatic way to accomplish a task like this in IE without Flash, correct?

    Considering that my uses for it would be integral to my design…
