More than likely this is not going to be a filemaker function and instead a desktop or server function. &nbsp;What you can do is install something on the server or desktop such as&nbsp;<a href="https://imagemagick.org/" rel="ugc">https://imagemagick.org/</a> or&nbsp;<a href="http://www.graphicsmagick.org/" rel="ugc">http://www.graphicsmagick.org/</a>&nbsp; and then use a command line function such as<br><br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43054007-1"><span>  convert koala.gif -matte -virtual-pixel Transparent \          -affine `affine_rotate -110 28,24` -transform \          -crop 75x75+0+0\! -background white -flatten koala_affine_rotate.gif</span>
</code></pre>You can run a commandline function like this from filemaker. &nbsp;Make sure the location where you are uploading images has write access.&nbsp;

<div>
Use a webviewer (like SuperContainer or DocuBin) for your images and a filemaker plugin such as <a href="https://filemaker-plugins.com/cns-image/" rel="ugc">CNSIMAGE</a>

Ok.<br />
I am a real newbie.... although rather experienced in ms/access<br />
<br />
I think that I need to start as a standalone filemaker file, then move to a client-server function and then move to a web based app.<br />
<br />
As of today the images are stored in 2 places: in my computer and in a cloud server, so, my idea is to use the local image set and past all of them onto the database. It will be a rather large DB but manageable: 10 to 12 Gb. Is this ok with your approach?<br />
<br />
I went both to CSImage and to ImageMagick. It looks great but neither supports panning.<br />
<br />
As I am the sole developer and I am moving out from ms/access, I reckon that will be an issue. On ms/access I could (and did) buy a control that had everything on it, including the scroll bars for panning. I also found a plugin set &quot;MBS&quot; but still do't know if I should buy it instead. Would you recommend it?<br />
<br />
kindest regards<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
Here is what I need to do and I am open to all suggestions, namely by not using Scott's ideas (I did not know that I had top pay $600 to be able to deploy MBS).<br />
<br />
I bought DBPIX (the screenshots show that it is not a valid license, but it is a bug from DBPIX as I am running on parallels)<br />
<br />

<div>
you now may see what I want.<br />
<br />
I do have an image from documents and I need to scroll up and down (I do no need to use scroll bars - buttons can do the job)<br />
The original images (4 images) will be kept as is, but shown in the screen with the zoom, rotation and pan<br />
In the end I need to crop the final image to sendo to card printout with a QR code.<br />
<br />
In MS/ACCESS i did it using plug-ins (OCX), but in &nbsp;FILEMAKER I do not know how to do....<br />
<br />
any recommendations ?

FileMaker Pro is a cross-platform relational database application that integrates a database engine with a graphical user interface (GUI) and security features, allowing users to modify the database by dragging new elements into layouts, screens, or forms. FileMaker evolved from a DOS application, but since 1992 has been available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, and can be used in a cross-platform environment.
