Tumblr (3.0; @imgstack)http://blog.imgstack.com/<p><img/> stack has been something I’ve been working on for a while.  It was originally built back in 2006 when I started developing Cupid’s Lab (<a href="http://www.cupidslab.com"><a href="http://www.cupidslab.com">http://www.cupidslab.com</a></a>).</p> <p>I was solving the problem of my inability to design user interfaces.  Typically I would prototype a UI in the platform I was building.  It would start as a basic HTML page with content linearly running down the page in a waterfall of text and images.  Over time I would tweak and mold the html to present the data in some sort of organized form.</p> <p>Most of the time I was tweaking the size of cells and images on a page.  This would often lead me to have to recut or batch process images to fit the new size.  That’s a workflow nightmare.  Especially for someone like me who is indecisive and will change something hundreds of times before I think it’s _right_.</p> <p>This brought about the creation of <img/> stack.  I wanted to simply request the image based on how I needed it for the page and just expect it to be there.  Cropped, resized, centered… I didn’t want to have to go back and forth between photoshop and batch processing scripts.</p> <p>So now I’ve decided to take a few hours and build a standalone service of the tool set I created for Cupid’s Lab.  I hope you enjoy it!</p>http://blog.imgstack.com/post/74258253http://blog.imgstack.com/post/74258253Fri, 30 Jan 2009 03:22:08 -0500
