A javascript library that encapsulates the image manipulation features of the popular browsers. Features only work in browsers that support them, of course, but the library standardizes the access to them so that you don't have to worry about making those checks yourself. Uses some of the features of HTML 5.0's canvas for browsers that can use that.
