Resize Image before Upload

Hi Gang.. I am using ASP for my web pages. I have the need to upload images, but restrict my users to a limit on size. I do not want the user to have to resize the image, but I do not want to upload and THEN resize. I woul like to Resize on the client, and then upload the images to my chosen area..

Any one got an idea which can help me??

Best regards

Derek.

This can be done for free using .Net

I have an upload form that allows an image to be uploaded and it creates a 450X600 version of the image, a 100X75 version of the image, and saves the original image as well.

At a bare minimum, the image has to be uploaded to memory on the server in order for any type of image processing to occur, unless you use an ActiveX control. I know nothing about Java applets so I don't know their capabilities.

Bear in mind, that this is about the only thing I have done with .Net, and it was not overly difficult at all. There are so many samples online to get you started. Coincidentally, after I built my page with .Net, I discovered that my web host had not one, but two different image resizing components available for use, so I would check on that to begin with...
