FYI I wrote a cross-browser compatible way of doing Polaroid style images within the browser (Rotation, drop shadow, border and caption) using the Djoo gfx library:

(The page is broken in IE6 even though the gfx code works fine in IE6… I used a now outdated version of the cross-domain loading for Dojo, which is barfing on IE6)

Tried it out on Firefox and IE, both worked pretty solid (I was even happy with IE performance :-O)

Of course this is sooooo slow, it’s entirely unusable.

I saw this on the stupid cloverfield movie’s website… and it was done in flash and it was really really awesome… I’m going to keep my eye on this one…

The demonstration of what ‘can be done’ in browser-native style is awesome. (amazing it works in ie6, with the ‘excanvas.js’, which is apparently a Google contribution to the community)

Where is the best place to learn about Canvas? The books on Canvas are very few and far between. Found these:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariJSRef/Classes/Canvas.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/-CJBCECGI.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Canvas_tutorial

Any help is appreciated.

@Jigs: yeah, I updated the post with links to the demos of Michael Johnston and Pamela Fox who took the library and integrated it with Flickr and Picasa respectively.

Well executed layering. I noticed the Flickr integration screenshot – is there a demo available for that?
