Abstract
Various embodiments of a method and system for an image editing system are disclosed. A client-side image editor may receive a copy of an image from a network-based server. The image may have previously been uploaded to the network-based server for storage purposes. The client-side image editor transforms the image, or proxy image, according to one or more image transformation operations. The client-side image editor maintains an edit list, including an ordered list of transformation operations performed on the image. In response to a “Save” operation, the client-side image editor sends the edit list to the network-based server. The altered image is not be sent. The network-based server receives the edit list and may apply the transformations to the original image. Since the edit list is very small relative to the altered image, sending the edit list to the network-based client reduces the time required for a “Save” operation.
